Young Phillip Maddison (1953) was the third entry in Henry
Williamson's fifteen-volume A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight
spanning the years from the late Victorian period to the Second
World War. It carries forward the story of Phillip as he grows
towards manhood in the years immediately preceding the Great War.
Unpredictable and wayward, Phillip nevertheless possesses a keen
love of nature, which he indulges as best he can in the nearby
countryside. But as his schooldays draw to a close he seems
destined to follow his father by working in the Moon Fire Office,
in the smoky heart of the greatest metropolis the world has ever
seen. 'Williamson's style is romantic, though rarely sentimental,
and his sensuous response to nature is fresh and surprising.'
Anthony Burgess, Ninety-Nine Novels: The Best in English since 1939
