520 Poet John Betjemen was not the only scribe "beckoned out
to lanes in beechy Bucks." Many of the country's most
famous writers shared his fondness for the county and
sought solace within its boundaries. John Milton came here
to escape the plague in London; Enid Blyton fled the
capital's increasing development, while D. H. Lawrence and
his German wife took refuge on the outbreak of World War I
--unsuccessfully. Benjamin Disraeli could not bear to
leave his Buckinghamshire home, even for a short spell,
while G. K. Chesterton discovered the county by accident
and stayed for the rest of his life. Running along
Buckinghamshire's southern border is the Thames, where
Jerome K. Jerome, Percy Shelley,and Kenneth Grahame
enjoyed "messing about in boats." Literary Buckinghamshire
offers stories of well-known lives and lost and hidden
aspects of Buckinghamshire's history to engage literary
historians, visitors, and book lovers alike.
