Description

Sugar for the Horse by H. E. Bates. New Uncle Silas stories illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. 'When My Uncle Silas appeared in 1939 the New Statesman predicted that it might 'well become a minor classic . . . Those who know (Silas) will want no recommendation; those who do not, need only remember that Mr. Bates is one of the most capable of living short-story writers.' Re-viewing the same collection the Sunday Times described Uncle Silas as 'a wencher, a liar, a poacher, a toper . . . No wonder that he developed in Mr. Bates mind through several stories, until he has a book to himself. Edward Ardizzone's drawing show just the right gnarled quality.' In Sugar for the Horse Mr. Bates presents twelve further stories about the old countryman with the gargantuan appetite and thirst, the button-bright eye for a pretty girl, and the prodigious memory to which his fertile imagination is accomplice. The dust jacket has light general wear with some small chips along the top edge and small tape repairs. The book however remains in a tight and tidy condition.
