Soft Cover Full Gloss. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Ardizzone, Edward (illustrator). ### A Ring of Bells: Poems of John Betjeman 1974 ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified as VERY GOOD: This is the 1974 edition. The book was published originally in 1962 and reprinted in 1964, 1967, 1972 and 1974. The book cover is age marked but still altogether. ## ## A very nice selection of his poems and some great illustrations by Edward Ardizzone ## ## John Betjeman's verse autobiography Summoned by Bells tells the story of his childhood and school days. It is during this period of his life that he wrote many of the ideas, subjects and moods of the poems as a mature poet came. Because of this, and his direct style communicates his meaning to his readers as easily as any poet now writing, this selection of his poems is made especially for young people. Each of the nine sections is preceded by a passage from Summoned by Bells which tells a story and sets a theme for the following poems, including all the well-loved favourites. ## ## 'Very well done, and Ardizzone's drawings preserve the mood. What is good in Betjeman is the encouragement to see the familiar and the commonplace in a new, enquiring focus: this is indeed the heart of poetry.'
