John Betjeman was the best-loved English poet since Tennyson and became an institution - a 'teddy bear to the nation'. This biography takes the reader from Betjeman's troubled childhood in north London, through his blossoming at Oxford; a gay fling with W H Auden; a clandestine marriage to a field marshal's daughter; and more.
