He published some fifty books, a mix of country stories, most famouslyTarka the OtterandSalar the Salmon, and autobiographical fiction, including the fifteen-volume novel cycle,A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight. He died in 1977.

Jeremy Gavron is the author of five books, includingThe Last Elephant: An African Quest, and three novels,Moon,The Book of Israel, which won the Encore Award, andAn Acre of Barren Ground.
