    About this ebook

    Henry Williamson is known for his book 'Tarka the Otter', yet his time in World War I trenches affected him profoundly. This book draws on his letters, diaries, photographs and notebooks written at the time to give us a detailed account of life in the trenches of the First World War. It also offers us a rare insight into the making of a novelist.
