This is the third novel in Henry Williamson's Flax of Dream
sequence. Willie Maddison has returned from the Great War and
chooses to live a recluse-like existence in a remote Devon cottage;
he cares for injured animals and writes. This abruptly changes when
Evelyn Fairfax enters his life. Their affair should have been
therapeutic, helping to anaesthetize the horrors of war, but
complications develop when Willie follows Evelyn back to Folkestone
where she has a husband, a young daughter, many besotted admires,
and a bad reputation.
The four novels comprising the Flax of Dream sequence are: "The
Beautiful Years," "Dandelion Days," "The Dream of Fair Women" and
"The Pathway." It has been said, 'together they must be regarded as
one of the major works in English fiction of the day . . . in every
respect a wonderful achievement.' Faber Finds is proud to be
reissuing them.
