BETJEMAN, JOHN (EDITED BY STEPHEN GAMES) - Trains and Buttered Toast - Selected Radio Talks

London, John Murray. 2006. (ISBN: 0719561264). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is price clipped. xi + 353 pages. Eccentric, sentimental and homespun, John Betjeman's passions were mostly self-taught. He saw his country being devastated by war and progress, and he waged a private battle to save it. His only weapons were words - the poetry for which he is best known and even more influential, the radio talks that first made him a phenomenon. Now collected in book form for the first time, his broadcasts represent one of the most compelling archives of 20th century broadcasting, evoking for the modern reader Betjeman's unique perspective and the compelling magic of the golden age of wireless. D4A. Fine/Fine.
