Description:
London: Faber & Faber Limited, 1929. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5.5". None. A sombre piece written about the author's experiences during the First World War, ten years on after his return to visit the battlefield. This work was written after the author had returned to the Western Front in order to find some closure after the trauma of battle.Henry Williamson (1895-1977) was an English author, best known for his work 'Tarka the Otter'. A great deal of his work concerned wildlife; however, a number of his earlier works deal with his time spent as a rifleman during the First World War. After the war, he believed that it had been futile and caused by greed, and strongly believed that Germany and Britain should never go to war again. In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart, with a small chip to both the head and tail of the spine, which is a little cocked. Internally firmly bound, pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed

Top edge dust marked and the endpapers very lightly browned. A trace of miscellaneous staining to occasional leaf margins. Very good in tanned, edgeworn and internally repaired dust wrapper with a small area of loss from the head of the spine panel (impacting 'The'). 2990 copies were printed. A fusion of Williamson's two post-war visits to the Western Front battlefields, the first in 1925 and again in 1927, arranged in a loose diary format and merging his recollections with the contemporary scene..
