My Uncle Silas

Plot

A new Granada TV series starting this fall in the UK.Uncle Silas, the rural reprobate, was popularized in H.E. Bates’ magazine short stories. This complete collection is illustrated by Edward Ardizzonne’s original drawings – perfectly capturing the little red-thatched house atop a violet-banked lane. Over the course of 95 years Uncle Silas led an active life, and loved to boast of his daring fights, and the women whose hearts he’d captured, over a glass of cowslip wine.
