Description
This biography of the novelist and publisher J.L. Carr. is a sympathetic,oving and often very funny portrait of a uniquely civic-minded man whosechievements ranged from half a dozen fascinatingly original novels toublishing some of the smallest and most collectable books ever, to aifetime's career as a humane and iconoclastic Northamptonshire headmaster -ut also, and above all, as an anatomy of Englishness. Carr's interests andassions represented much of the best of England, from the game of cricket tohe endangered country church, from an unswerving sympathy for the underdognd the underprivileged to a hatred of bigotry and showmanship.
