What is The Last Englishman: The Life of J. L. Carr about?
J.l. Carr Was The Most English Of Englishmen: A Man Who Spent Most Of His Working Life In The Middle Of Middle England, As Headmaster Of A Northamptonshire School, And Enthusiastic Follower Of Cricket And A Tireless Campaigner For The Conservation Of Country Churches. But He Was Also The Author Of Half A Dozen Of The Quirkiest, Most Comic Novels In English, And A Publisher (from His Own Back Bedroom In Kettering) Of Some Of The Most Eccentric, Collectible - And Smallest - Books Ever Printed... Now Byron Rogers, Who Knew Him Well, Tells For The First Time The Full Story Of J.l. Carr's Life, A Tale Both Surprising And Extraordinarily Varied, From War Service On A West African Flying-boat Base To A Strange Interlude Teaching In The Heart Of South Dakota. It Reveals A Quixotic, Civic-minded And Thoroughly Decent Man, Who Would Hold Arithmetic Races On Sports Day, Paved His Garden Path With The Printing Plates From His Hand-drawn Maps, And Led His Schoolchildren Through The Streets Of Kettering To Hymn The Beauty Of The Cherry Trees--and, Above All, A Novelist Whose Fiction Is More Thoroughly Autobiographical Than Anyone Has Hitherto Realized. The Last Englishman Is More Than The Fascin
