Letters from Iceland

This book takes the form of a series of letters, some in verse, some in prose, written from Iceland in the summer of 1936. The recipients of the letters include Lord Byron, a tourist, an employee of Shell-Mex, a member of the Oxford City Council, a Cambridge lady don, an Icelandic journalist, and a well-known young painter. In addition. Mr Macneice contributes an eclogue between two tourists and the ghost of Grettir, and Mr Auden some amateur photographs.
