This is the first collection of poems that John Betjeman has published apart from his verse autobiography (Summond by bells) since his very successful colected poems.

I enjoyed alot of the poetry that spoke on grief, memories and nature, which about half the book consisted of but alot sadly felt flat to me. Still I enjoyed reading this book, especially when I read some of the more melodic verses aloud.
