Henry William Williamson was an English writer who wrote novels concerned with wildlife, English social history and ruralism.

‘Willie Maddison fought in the First World War, and suffered fully its tragedies. Now he returns to his beloved Devon, to the wind-swept Taw estuary, with its swift alternation of sun and rain, its bird-filled saltmarshes and marram-covered sandhills’.
