Bookseller Notes

With a lengthy inscription by the author on the flyleaf: 'My dear Peter, You gave Althea and me such a lovely lunch, and this copy is just back from the USA, and so much of the book is about the Playhouse, that, although it is not good enough for your very good taste, Terence begs you to accept it. Chiswick House, Moss Lane, Pinner, Middlesex, Pinner 234, Sept-27-52'. The recipient was the theatre director Peter Brook.Terence Lucy Greenidge was a contemporary and friend of Evelyn Waugh's at Hertford College, responsible for introducing the latter to the Hypocrites Club and generally an enlivening presence. This book collects his earlier 'Sonnet Sequence on the Oxford and Bletchley Branch' and 'Ten Poems (Mostly Amorous)', published under the pseudonym 'a Master of Arts', adding a Foreword by John Betjeman who ascribes to his friend 'the understanding of a railway maniac'.
