Salar the Salmon

Henry Williamson

Illustrations: C.F. Tunnicliffe

Little Toller Books

2010

Originally published in 1935

"Salar the Salmon's migration through the rivers of Devon - surviving porpoises, seals, nets, fishermen, otters, poachers and weirs - is one of nature's great journeys. Intense, brilliantly imagined, the salmon's perilous return leaves us with a vivid, unsentimental picture of how both people and wildlife rely on a river and its estuary."

Atlantic Tales

Henry Williamson

Henry Williamson Society

2007

"The essays and stories collected in "Atlantic Tales" were published in the prestigious American literary journal "Atlantic Monthly" over the twenty-year period between 1927 and 1947. Introduced by his son Richard Williamson, "Atlantic Tales" comprises an anthology of the very best of Henry Williamson's writing, with examples of the nature sketches on which his early reputation was founded; short stories - from the light-hearted "Swagdagger Crosses a Field" to the moving "A Crown of Life", perhaps his best short story; tales of his children growing up in North Devon; and accounts of his later experiences reclaiming a derelict farm in North Norfolk during the late 1930s and farming in the early years of the Second World War. Central to the collection is the story of "Salar the Salmon", published over three issues of "Atlantic Monthly" in a condensed version of the bestselling novel (now out of print), which successfully preserves the pulse and vitality of the original story."
