Summoned by Bells, inscribed and doodled by Betjeman

Name: Summoned by Bells, inscribed and doodled by Betjeman
Author: Betjeman, John

Book Description

London: John Murray, 1960. First edition, first printing. This is a near fine copy. The dust jacket is so slightly bumped at the spine tips but has not been price clipped (16s net). The boards are sharp and free from notable chips and marks. The text blocks are clean to the side and bottom edges, but moderately foxed to the top edge. John Betjeman inscribes this copy: 'Miss Iris | Langley | gratefully | from John Betjeman | Wantag[e]', adding a beautiful doodle of a stained glass window in green ink. Overall, this is a near fine copy with a fine inscription. Inscribed and dated in the year of publication, the recipient Iris Langley was manageress at King Alfred s Kitchen in Wantage. It is possible that the window here doodled was one from St. Mary the Virgin Chapel in the village. There is a Betjeman bust, and indeed Betjeman Millennium Park in Wantage.
