Ajouter au panierFirst editions, with the ownership signatures of the author Henry Williamson (1895-1977) on the front free endpapers, each dated the year of publication. Braunton has an ink doodle by Williamson of his owl emblem - which first appeared in The Lone Swallows (1922) - and Ilfracombe the presentation label of the Ilfracombe Field Cl…ub. Williamson is best known as the creator of Tarka the Otter. Elliston-Wright (1879-1966) was a distinguished botanist from North Devon who was an authority on the Sagina genus and the sand dunes of Braunton. He was a close friend of Williamson and inspired the character of "The Doctor" in The Scandaroon (1972). 2 works, quarto & octavo. Frontispieces, 8 plates, 2 folding maps. Original green and blue cloth, spines and front covers lettered in white, blue, and brown. Braunton spine and Ilfracombe covers toned, ends and corners bumped, boards a little splayed, contents of Ilfracombe lightly foxed: very good copies.
