About This Item
London: Faber & Faber Limited, 1929. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5.5". None. A sombre piece written about the author's experiences during the First World War, ten years on after his return to visit the battlefield. This work was written after the author had returned to the Western Front in order to find some closure after the trauma of battle.Henry Williamson (1895-1977) was an English author, best known for his work 'Tarka the Otter'. A great deal of his work concerned wildlife; however, a number of his earlier works deal with his time spent as a rifleman during the First World War. After the war, he believed that it had been futile and caused by greed, and strongly believed that Germany and Britain should never go to war again. In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart, with a small chip to both the head and tail of the spine, which is a little cocked. Internally firmly bound, pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed
