Description:Henry Williamson is perhaps best known for his Hawthornden Prize-winning Tarka the Otter, yet he devoted a major part of his life and over a million words to fiction which drew closely on his personal experiences during the First World War, including the widely acclaimed sequence of novels A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight. Williamson's time in the trenches affected him profoundly and, like many young soldiers, he was changed utterly by what he saw. This book draws closely on his letters, diaries, photographs and notebooks written at the time to give us a uniquely detailed account of life in the trenches of the First World War. It also affords us a rare insight into the making of a novelist. An immediate, often harrowing account, with rare flashes of humour, this detailed record of a soldier-writer's war will be of interest to anyone studying the history of the First World War and its literature.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
