Items related to Good Companions: An Anthology to Inspire, Amuse or...
John Bayley takes us through 70 years of extensive reading, judiciously selecting extracts from novels, poems, letters, and diaries that have long been his good companions inspiring or amusing him or soothing his spirits in times of adversity. Unlike many standard anthologies, Good Companions is highly personal and full of Bayley’s wit and wisdom.

Review:
'Perhaps Professor Bayley should be invited to write a whole book about himself, his thoughts, his military service, his experience of teaching: he is himself a good companison.' SPECTATOR 'Bayley has generously compiled an anthology of readings in poetry and prose to make us feel better... One man's tatse is more interesting than any of that literary quango.' GUARDIAN 'Charming, self-deprecating and cannily provocative.' OXFORD TIMES
