Paperback. Condition: Very Good. John Betjeman was the most read of living poets and, at his death in 1984, was the most loved. Here he is portrayed by Bevis Hillier in 'one of the richest and most entertaining biographies of recent times.' In this final volume, Betjeman is at the height of his fame, universally adopted as Teddy Bear to the Nation. By now he is known not just as a poet, but as a television personality too. He is also the essential public face of conservation, fighting -- not always with great efficiency or success -- to save our heritage. We live with him the triumph of Summoned by Bells, his richly emotional autobiography in verse, but also follow his tribulations as Poet Laureate, despairingly in search of inspiration in the bombastic events of royal and public life. Perhaps least expected of all is the pleasure he found in Banana Blush, the poems he recorded to the music of Jim Parker. As before, Bevis Hillier reveals the origins of Betjeman's most loved poems; brings to life his loves and enthusiasms; shows how important his religion, his love of laughter and his often hidden kindnesses were in his life; and reminds us of his particular hates. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

It is, as John Bayley has said, unquestionably 'one of the richest and most entertaining biographies of recent times' The third volume finds Betjeman at the height of his fame, universally adopted as Teddy bear to the Nation. As before, the author reveals the origins of Betjeman's most loved poems: brings to life his loves and enthusiasms - especially for unsung beauty in dim landscapes and overlooked buildings; shows how important his religion, his love of laughter and his often hidden kindnesses were in his life; and reminds us of his particular hates, especially of planners, 'business bishops', and Nikolaus Pevsner 'that dull pendant from Prussia'. Also brilliantly evoked is his ever-widening circle of friends, now including Barry Humphries, Simon jenkins, Mary Wilson, Mervyn Stockwood and the Prince of Wales. John Betjeman was the most read of living poems and at his death in 1984 was the best loved. This biography, full of amusing detail and delicious anecdotes, wonderfully recreates his extraordinary life.
