Authors: Henry Williamson
Henry Williamson (1895–1977) was a prolific writer best known for
Tarka the Otter
, which won the Hawthornden Prize in 1927. He wrote much of else of quality including
The Wet Flanders Plain, The Flax of Dream
tetralogy and the fifteen-volume
A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight
, all of which are being reissued in Faber Finds.
His politics were unfortunate, naively and misguidedly right-wing. In truth, he was a Romantic. The critic George Painter famously said of him, ‘He stands at the end of the line of Blake, Shelley and Jefferies: he is last classic and the last romantic.’
