Tarka the Otter
|
|
(1927) Unsentimental story by Henry Williamson (1895–1977) about the life and death of an otter in Devon, which rapidly became a classic because of its closely observed realism. Tarka dies after being pursued for many hours by a hunt, but in a final underwater struggle he succeeds in killing one of the hounds.
