Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Far Off Things
So, in an instant's time, I journeyed from the lighted room in the big Oxford Street restaurant to the darkening lane in far-away Gwent, in far away years. I gathered anew for that little while the savour of the autumnal wood beside which the boy of thirty years before was walking, and also the savour of his long - forgotten labours, of his old dreams of life and of letters. The speech and the dream came to an end and the man on the other side of the table, who is probably the most skilful and witty writer of musical comedy lyrics in England, was saying that once on a time he had tried to write real poetry.
