 Sir John Betjeman’s unique relationship with the BBC left a lasting legacy of poetry, readings and performances.

Betjeman was one of the best-known and loved Poet Laureates and over a hundred years after his birth he continues to attract acclaim and admiration. Some of his fascinating BBC Archive recordings can be enjoyed again in this specially selected collection of poetry. A First Class Collection includes the poet’s own readings of some of his most popular works, introduced by Andrew Motion, as well as readings specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4’s Poetry Please and exclusive readings from actors Derek Jacobi, Miriam Margolyes, Stephen Fry, Susan Jameson and Samuel West.© and (P)2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts European Poetry Social Sciences World Literature
