Shelf Control is a weekly feature hosted by Literary Potpourri to discuss unread books sitting in our to-be-read piles.
I saw this one someone's Bookstagram account (my account is here) back in 2019 and fell for the title. I had never read anything by Betjeman (Poet Laureate from 1972 until his death in 1984), so wasn't sure what to expect. Turns out, he was also an influential broadcaster, and this is a collection of broadcasts that he made from the 1930s to the 1950s.
I've yet to read it, but do intend to. With my Anglophilia and my love of that time period, I think it would be right down my alley!
