Reprint.  Approx 30pp stapled booklet, in light card, illustrated covers with yapped edges.  Several line drawings in text, all by John Piper.  8vo.  Covers a little worn and toned around edges, rubbed at edges, previous owner's name inked at top.  Previous owner's name inked inside front cover.  Endpapers a little dull and lightly marked else internally neat, clean and tight.  

A collection of verse, first broadcast on the BBC and latterly published by the SPCK.  Betjamen hesitated to call it poetry and records that "to compensate for the short-comings of the verse, I have prevailed upon my friend Mr John Piper, to provide illustrations."  Those illustrations are, as might be expected, a real delight.
