John Betjeman (1906-1984) was not only one of the best-loved Englishmen of the twentieth century he was also the people's favourite poet & champion of many causes linked to the preservation of Britain's heritage Whether those causes concerned buildings bridges or railway branch lines Betjeman was a feared adversary of bureaucratic excesses This delightful little book is a celebration of his love of railways & rail travel Ten letters selected by his daughter Candida Lycett Green each describe a journey that he made or that he planned to make or that he planned for a friend or relative Jonathan Glancey has added his own words to each letter; words that set the scene bring the letters to life that describe Betjeman's moods
