The writer Henry Williamson was born in London in 1895. Naturalist, soldier, journalist, farmer, motor enthusiast and author of over fifty books, his descriptions of nature and the First World War have been highly praised for their accuracy. He is best known as the author of Tarka the Otter, which won the Hawthornden Prize for Literature in 1928 and was filmed in 1977. By one of those extraordinary coincidences, Henry Williamson died while the crew were actually filming the death scene of Tarka. Here in the Henry Williamson Society's website you can explore the man, his life, and his place in English Literature and history.
Please note: the website has been newly designed and revised, and work is still ongoing on the Research Centre pages. The site will be actively maintained, and new content added regularly.
