'Summoned by Bells' is a wonderful autobiography - warm, humorous, touching - John Betjeman's early life creates its own pictures. But Sir Hugh Casson's delightful and skilful illustrations (many are Ardizzioni-like) only enhance those - and what a joy that there are so many of them interspersed within the text! I have a first edition of the book, but most gladly put this volume alongside it - and have purchased another copy for a friend too.

Fascinating insight into John Betjeman. I wonder just how his life was influenced by the ill treatment he suffered at (public) school.

I bought this as a special present for my mother as she had just lost her mother. A wonderful book. Sadly the seller did not let me know that that it had been written in the front and a name label.
