Tennis Whites and Teacakes

The real England, the real John Betjeman Tennis Whites and Teacakes brings together the best of Betjeman''s poetry, private letters, journalism and musings to present a fully rounded picture of what he stood for. From his arguments for new steel buildings to his amusement about the etiquette of village teashops, it reveals Betjeman not just as a sentimentalist but as a passionate observer with a wonderful sense of humour and an acute eye.
