This biography takes the reader from Betjeman's troubled childhood in north London, through his blossoming at Oxford; a gay fling with W H Auden; a clandestine marriage to a field marshal's daughter; pranks as a film critic; wartime service and probable espionage in Ireland, to the glory days of his later years when his 'Collected Poems' became a runaway bestseller. This book is a distillation of Bevis Hillier's three-volume biography, authorized by Betjeman himself.
