Sobre este item
1st Edition 1917. 1st issue with the spine lettered in gilt and front cover lettered in blind. Very rare with the wrapper. From a large collection of Henry Williamson's and his family's books. Includes a specially commissioned small bookplate affixed inside the book confirming this. enry William Williamson (1 December 1895 – 13 August 1977) was an English writer who wrote novels concerned with wildlife, English social history and ruralism. He was awarded the Hawthornden Prize for literature in 1928 for his book Tarka the Otter. He fought in World War I and, having witnessed the Christmas truce and the devastation of trench warfare, he developed first a pacifist ideology, then fascist sympathies. Williamson acted as his company's transport officer and, in June 1917, he was gassed while transporting ammunition up to the front line. He was returned to the UK, spending the next few months in military convalescent hospitals (Wiki). Book is near very good and quite bright. Wording on spine a little dull. Contents good. Light age toning to pages. Small name to endpaper. The wrapper is good++ with small loss to spine tips. Edges rubbed and nicked. Wrapper soiled. Spine age toned/darkened. A rare title with its wrapper and a nice association.
