This review is from: Henry Williamson: Tarka and the Last Romantic Biography and Diary (Biography, Letters & Diaries) (Hardcover)

An interesting biography about one of the most underrated English authors of the 20th century. Known primarily -- and, for many, solely -- for his very popular "Tarka the Otter," one should also be made aware that Henry Williamson's works include, in numerous volumes, one of the best living histories of World War 1 and its surrounding times. Enjoy this biography, and if you don't know Williamson's works, you are in for a treat.
