Synopsis

Summoned by Bells has become a classic. Shortly after it was published in 1960 it was heralded as the verse autobiography of the century. It is a uniquely evocative narrative of the agonies and delights of growing up, set against the familiar backgrounds of Highgate, Cornwall, Marlborough and Oxford, and recounted in a way that has endeared Betjeman to generations of readers.

Media Reviews
I abandon all the usual literary equivocations and call it a masterpiece. -- Sunday Times Betjeman is perhaps as completely orginial a writer as has ever existed. -- Times Literary Supplement
Author Bio
Betjeman is the best loved English poet of this century. His Collected Poems made publishing history and has now sold more than two million copies. In each generation a new following is captivated by his unmistakable voice, whose compassion can swell into indignation and whose humour is underlaid by gentle satire and self-doubt.
