Item Details
Description
Heading:
Author: Williamson, Henry
Title: Tarka The Otter: His Joyful Water-Life & Death in the Country of the Two Rivers
Place Published: London & New York
Publisher:G.P. Putnam's Sons
Date Published: 1927
Description: Title page in brown & black. Duotone cloth, brown morocco spine label lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. One of 1000 large paper copies printed at the Chiswick Press.A classic naturalist text which helped save the Eurasian otter from the predation of the British sporting culture. "As a nocturnal and solitary animal it is rarely seen during the day, generally retiring in a sheltered hollow beside the water...In Britain, the mystery which shrouded the animal also saw it transform into a much-valued source of sport. Otter hunting was a popular pastime in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Few people actually see the Euarsian otter in the wild, yet it has become one of the most popular species. Henry Williamson's famous book Tarka the Otter (1927) helped transform the animal into a much-loved fictional character and iconic screen star" - Otter by Daniel Allen, pp.13-14.
