Books

The main aim of this page is to list books in which Peel appears either as a writer or subject. To be included in the latter category, the book should feature at least one chapter about him.
Peel also enjoyed reading - during his schooldays, English was one of the few subjects in which he did well - and on his 1967 Perfumed Garden shows on Radio London would sometimes read poems or stories between the records.Peel ran a competition on the show to select a Perfumed Garden "poet laureate". This was "won" by Donovan, with Roger McGough second and John Lennon third. Because of this, the BBC gave him the Night Ride show of 1968-69, which regularly featured guest poets who would discuss their work with him. In his later years, he was known to say that he would study English Literature if he won the pools. On Desert Island Discs, he named the 12-volume A Dance To The Music Of Time by Anthony Powell as his book choice. Peel's eldest sonWilliam Robert Anfield Ravenscroft (born 12th January 1976). was named after the main character in Richmal Crompton's Just William stories.
Writing in a student magazine in 1989, John Walters compared Peel to Eeyore, saying the DJ resembled the pessimistic donkey from A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh far more than any other of his favourite fictional characters ("I always tell him that he should forget Roy of the Rovers and Biggles"). Walters also hinted at how Peel's tastes in reading had influenced his distinctive style of spoken English: "The phraseology may derive from the handful of pre-war books that he reads constantly. Why bother with new ones when the old are perfectly good?" 
A list of Peel's mentions of books, on his radio shows and in his journalism, appears at the bottom of the page, along with a list of books from his collection that were put up for auction in 2022.
