Product Description
'Byron Rogers' brilliant biography of the Welsh vicar poet deserves every literary gong going. It is scrupulously researched, witty erudite, laugh-outloud funny and made extraordinarily vivid by the author having met his irascible subject in the flesh ... I haven't enjoyed a biography so much in years'
Val Hennessy, Daily Mail
'Byron Rogers' lively and affectionate biography ... is unexpectedly, even riotously funny... warm, perceptive, ruthless, gossipy and admiring'
Rowan Williams, Sunday Times
'One of the most brilliant biographies I have ever read, by turns very bleak and very funny, written with a magical combination of sympathy and horror ... A biography touched by genius'
Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
