In volume 9 of 'A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight', it is the early 1920s and Phillip Maddison, out of the army, is determined to become a writer. When his career as a journalist founders, he retires to Devon on his motorcycle to share a cottage with a friend and devote himself to his work. BUt the arrangement does not succeed and before long Phillip finds himself alone. Meanwhile, his heart is assailed by what he takes for lovel but not until he has shed some illusions does he discover what he seeks, where last expected. Set against the London literary landscape as well as the superbly drawn Devon landscape, The Innocent Moon paints an unforgettable picture of its times.
About the Author
Henry Williamson (1895-1977) was a prolific writer best-known for Tarka the Otter, which won the Hawthornden Prize in 1927. He wrote much of else of quality including The Wet Flanders Plain, The Flax of Dream tetralogy and the fifteen-volume A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight, all of which are being reissued in Faber Finds.
His politics were unfortunate, naively and misguidedly right-wing. In truth, he was a Romantic. The critic George Painter famously said of him, 'He stands at the end of the line of Blake, Shelley and Jefferies: he is last classic and the last romantic'.
