Local DescriptionEyre Methuen, 1980. First edition. A near fine copy in a good, unclipped d/w. DescriptionWith the Faber Book of English History in Verse and his collection of poems and parodies, Unauthorized Versions, Kenneth Baker, the Home Secretary, is an established editor and anthologist. In this book he turns his attention to the field of satire and invective.
