Beschreibung

First Edition (first printing). John Sparrow's copy, with his nameplate to the front pastedown. Slim 8vo. 52pp. Patterned paper-covered boards lettered in gold at the spine. A very good copy. No dust wrapper. Betjeman's one-page preface (in which he references Edward Thomas' 'Adlestrop') precedes a sequence of sonnets and poems, the first ten of which was reproduced from the author's uncommon pseudonymous pamphlet 'Sonnet Sequence on the Oxford and Bletchley Branch' (1947). Uncommon, and nicely enhanced by the Sparrow association. John Sparrow was the warden of All Souls College, a celebrated bibliophile and a great friend of Betjeman's. He wrote the introduction to his friend's 1948 edition of 'Selected Poems' and was one of only two people Betjeman would allow to proof new collections and offer editorial advice and suggestions.
