Excellent book

I've read almost every book written by or about Rupert Brooke and this is the best one. There are a lot of poems that aren't in the Collected Poems and can only be found in this book. It's gives the most complete look into his life as more things about him become available over the years.

Another time, another place...

A very interesting biography, well researched and providing an insight into a different time. What a fascinating time to have lived before such changes in the World. Mike Read allows us to feel this free spirited lifestyle of Brookes and Read's passion for the subject comes through in this which is more than just a biography but a record of events and changes in the lives of those associated with Brooke. Well researched and highly recommended.
