The Henry Williamson Society |
|
| The writer Henry
Williamson was born in London in 1895. Naturalist, soldier,
journalist, farmer, motor enthusiast and author of over 50 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 as the crew were actually filming the death scene of Tarka.
Here you can explore the man, his life, and his place in English Literature
and history. For best results, view this site in

| The
website has now been updated, and includes a new Bookshop feature to
order online books and publications produced by the Society. The next
feature to be added in 2008 will be downloadable articles from back
issues of the HWS Journal. |
