From the family library of Henry Williamson, recently dispersed. T. E. Lawrence was a dear friend of Williamson, who published The Genius of Friendship, an account of their correspondence in tribute to him, six years after Lawrence's tragic death. A biography written after Lawrence's youngest brother and literary executor allowed the author access to additional material not previously available to biographers, which was being kept privately in the Bodleian, purportedly until the year 2000. 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.
