About the product Signed by the author on inside of upper cover. Introduction by Roger Boyle. 210 x 148 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 80; line drawings by the author. Near fine condition."'This finely observed and moving collection'wrote Lord Lichfield of Paul Wigmore's previous book of verse, It's funny about the trees. And Penelope Betjeman said:'He is by far the best poet of the John Betjeman school'. Mr Wigmore has excelled himself in this major new collection, which he has also illustrated. It covers the first 21 years of his life, from short-trouser days in Harrow and Wealdstone, through long-trouser early working experiences in factory and shop, and on to his national service in the RAF. His ability to crystallise the pangs of suburban childhood, adolescence and early manhood has not been bettered. There is a sensitivity and honesty about this writing which will strike a chord in many readers."
