The Better Land
- in Search of the Lost Boy Sopranos
by Stephen R. Beet,
with a Foreword by Peter Purves

* * *

If you enjoyed Amphion's Better Land CD's, then you'll love Stephen R. Beet's new book on the lives and times of the boys whose voices soared again into the vaulted ceilings of memory.

The Better Land - in Search of the Lost Boy Sopranos features much newly-discovered material, telling the often very human stories of the boys behind the voices, at the height of their singing careers and in their later lives. The book is copiously illustrated with many previously-unpublished photographs and manuscript samples, and carries a Foreword by Peter Purves.

As well as chapters on Iwan Davies, Derek Barsham, and Denis Wright, amongst others there are also chapters under the following headings: The Temple Boys, The Manchester Boys, The Music Hall Boys, The Fleeting Boys, and The Broadcast Boys.
