Hardback, Putnam, reprinted March 1948; with woodcut illustrations by C. F. Tunnicliffe.
Book condition: lacking the dust wrapper, some light foxing to preliminary pages and fore-edge, otherwise a nice tight copy.

The publisher's blurb to the illustrated edition is concise, but includes extracts from three reviews: 'This illustrated edition of "The Peregrine's Saga" is uniform with three other nature books by Henry Williamson – "Tarka the Otter" – which won the Hawthornden Prize for 1928 – "The Old Stag" and "The Lone Swallows".

"It is a happy combination of author and artist, whose knowledge of their subjects is as deep as their manner of expressing it is fascinating. One can read and re-read Mr. Williamson's stories with unflagging appreciation, wondering at his power. As for Mr. Tunnicliffe's pictures, there is life in every line of them." – Scotsman.

"He has the poet's sympathy as well as the naturalist's eye." – Everyman.

"The author's knowledge of the countryside is unerring, and his mastery of prose and his enthusiasm for his subject give to each of his tales a quality and a polish that cannot but impress. Those who read "Tarka the Otter" will be delighted with this book." – Sphere.
