Summoned by Bells - Softcover
Summoned by Bells has become a classic. Shortly after it was published in 1960 it was heralded as the verse autobiography of the century. It is a uniquely evocative narrative of the agonies and delights of growing up, set against the familiar backgrounds of Highgate, Cornwall, Marlborough and Oxford, and recounted in a way that has endeared Betjeman to generations of readers.

About the Author:
Betjeman is the best loved English poet of this century. His "Collected Poems" made publishing history and has now sold more than two million copies. In each generation a new following is captivated by his unmistakable voice, whose compassion can swell into indignation and whose humour is underlaid by gentle satire and self-doubt.
Review:
"I abandon all the usual literary equivocations and call it a masterpiece." -- Sunday Times "Betjeman is perhaps as completely orginial a writer as has ever existed." -- Times Literary Supplement
