by John Betjeman
Most of John Betjeman's writing and talking displays what he calls his 'topographical predilections.' He loves suburbs and provincial towns, Gothic Revival churches and small branch-line railways, and is curious also about the life that revolves round them. In this talk he describes the impact made upon him by the Isle of Man, which he visited during the summer at the invitation of the BBC.
