Copy 81 of 350, as stated on the limitation page. [Butcher 59]. A finely produced private-press tribute volume issued in honour of Sir John Betjeman on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday. The anthology includes contributions by notable poets and writers including Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Kingsley Amis, Elizabeth Jennings, and Gavin Ewart, among others, reflecting the wide affection and esteem in which Betjeman was held by his literary contemporaries. The combination of Bell type, Zerkall paper, and Miriam Macgregor's wood engraving gives the book a particularly handsome and tactile character, representative of the English private-press revival of the later twentieth century.

His accessible style and distinctive wit brought poetry to a broad public audience uncommon in his era. Miriam Macgregor (ilustrador).…
