You may heard of Philip Larkin, who was an English poet, novelist and librarian.
I haven't, actually. What are some of his works?
Well the "The North Ship", was published in 1945, followed by , "Jill" in 1946. They are rather old!
Oh, yes, much before my time. When was he born, then?
He was born 9 August 1922 so almost a century ago!
Wow, that's quite a long time. Did he have any schooling? Or did he just learn to write poems and novels by himself?
Yes he did! He graduated from Oxford in 1943 with a first in English language and literature! Quite a smart person!
Oh, yes, he must've been if he graduated from Oxford! You said he was a librarian, where did he do that?
Well he served as a university librarian at the Brynmor Jones Library at the University of Hull. he loved books!
