About this Item

A very smart collection of first edition copies of John Betjeman's poetry, with original dust wrappers. Three volumes. First editions. Written by Sir John Betjeman, an English writer, poet, and broadcaster who was poet laureate from 1972 until his death. This set includes: High and Low, 1966. The first copy of poetry from Betjeman other than his autobiographical Summoned by Bells, this collection delights readers with haunting Cornish landscapes and light Irish ballads. A Nip in the Air, 1974. New poems, mostly written since the previous publication, exploring places and human encounters, meditations, and familiar vistas. Uncollected Poems, 1982. A rich collection of poems from all periods of Betjeman's creative life, with affectionate satire, grimness and gaiety, sharp social commentary, and personified landscapes. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light marks to the boards. Original unclipped dust wrappers are very smart with light sunning to the spine and the odd mark to the panels. Small closed tears to the head of the spine to High and Low with the odd crease. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot to the endpapers. Near Fine. Seller Inventory # 881T8
