Poet of faith

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 @ 00:25

Poet of faith: a little-known record, The Story of Jesus, made by Sir John Betjeman in 1960 (left), and his slim SPCK volume Poems in the Porch, illustrated by John Piper (1954) - two of many images in a small hardback, the Little Book of Betjeman, by Peter Gammond. A foreword by Lady Wilson of Rievaulx commends its balance, warmth, and wisdom (G2 Entertainment, www.GS3ent.co.uk, £9.99 (£9.10); 978-1-907803-39-0)
