From Verse to Worse is Lionel Hallam Tennyson's 1933 autobiography. The poet's grandson was a fine writer in his own right, and his colorful life provided him with good source material. As one would expect, there is much for cricket fans here. Perhaps less expected is how much more there is. Fans of Downton Abbey will find that Tennyson lived the life depicted in that show. The lifestyle of house parties and hunting is there, as well as the horrors of World War I, from which the author returned alive though his two brothers did not. So this autobiography is entertaining but also has a serious side. In addition to the public horrors of The Great War, Tennyson owns up to more private difficulties, notably, what we would call today his gambling addiction. Throughout, Tennyson's, wit, humility, and humanity are apparent. This edition has an afterword covering many technicalities of the book's republication.
