1931 A Bibliography and a Critical Survey of the Works of Henry Williamson
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Limited Edition
A limited edition work, limited to four hundred and twenty copies.
An important and uncommon bibliography and critical study of the works of Henry Williamson, one of the rarest Henry Williamson items.
Williamson was a prolific and popular author of the twentieth century, best known for his works on wildlife, ruralism, and social history. His magnum opus is his fifteen-novel sequence 'A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight'.
This bibliography and study was published in the midst of his burgeoning career, only a few years after his Hawthornden winning novel 'Tarka the Otter'.
Compiled by I. Waveney Girvan, with assistance of 'Another Hand'. It is a clear open secret that this 'Another Hand' is Williamson himself.
Pencil note to the half-title claims 'Annotations by H. W. in pencil', the annotations being pencil lines to the margins.
