His life is one of adventure and play, but soon he must fend for himself, travelling along streams and rivers to the open sea, sometimes with female otters White-tip and Greymuzzle. Always on the run, Tarka has many close shaves until he finally meets his nemesis, the fearsome hound Deadlock.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHenry William Williamson was born in 1895 in Brockley, south-east London. The then semi-rural location provided easy access to the countryside, and he developed a deep love of nature throughout his childhood. He became a prolific author known for his natural and social history novels. He won the Hawthornden Prize for literatrure in 1928 for Tarka the Otter.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso available in A Puffin Book:\u003cbr\u003e\nGOODNIGHT MISTER TOM and BACK HOME by Michelle Magorian\u003cbr\u003e\nCHARLOTTE'S WEB, STUART LITTLE and THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN by E.
