A Screw Loose my story so far.
London.
B&T Publishers, 1977.
First edition.
8vo.
272pp. Original publisher's mulberry cloth boards lettered in silver, with the pink dustwrapper. Minor bumping to corners and spine ends, with few other marks, wrapper slightly worn. Internally bright and clean. With a full page of manuscript notes to FFEP by Henry Williamson's son Richard Calvert Williamson, noting having met 'this woman... Susan Gibson' whom 'Henry had met 4th August 1964, and on till 1966'. She is described as 'small, shapeless, and rather scruffy'. Richard alleges Henry 'gave her a fair bit of money & regretted it'. From the family library of Henry Williamson, recently dispersed.
Sue Caron was a pornographic writer and publisher, beginning her career in the early 1960s at Parthenon Books before earning herself the moniker 'Porn Queen' as pornographer and editor of several explicit adult magazines. While the majority of the autobiography is explicit, the passages on Henry Williamson are surprisingly romantic.
Henry Williamson (1895-1977), novelist and writer on natural history and the English countryside, is predominantly remembered as the author of Tarka the Otter (1927) for which he won the Hawthornden Prize. His wartime experiences on the Western Front having altered his life inexorably, he spent the remainder of his post-war life in Devon, Norfolk and Suffolk, writing naturalistic novels very much in the romantic tradition.
