The history of this title was planned one spring at Tavistock in the county of Devonshireand completed in the spring of the following year at Buckfast. This story of a shepherd dog is told against the wild moors of western England.It combines the sensitive writing of a man who loves animals with keen observation of the habits of foxesbadgerswild coltscurlewsmagpies - the great multitudes of the Dartmoor tors. When gipsy traders smoked out her cubs to be sold at the Tavistock FairRedbrush the vixenenticed an Alsatian puppy from the Newsome's farmyard.He was just the russet colour of a hill fox.Taught by the vixenthe dog grew into a magnificent creatureWindruffwhose adventures the reader follows enjoying with the dog the free wilderness of the moors. The patience and devotion of those who love Windruff win out in the end and bring the dog back once more to the farmand the relationship between the half-wild dog and the man he could trust is a satisfying climax to an unusually appealing story. Joseph Eugene Chipperfield 1912-1976 was a writer and worked as an editor and script writer of documentaries.He was brought up on a farm where he developed his love of countryside and animalsboth of which feature in all his books. He travelled around Europe making notes on wildlife and researched many of the locations of his books first hand.His novel Storm of Dancerwood is based on his experiences travelling the west country with his alsation Max. As well as his horse stories he wrote many books about dogs which are probably considered his best worksalso other animalsusually in the wildsuch as eaglesfoxes and stags.His pony books were all about wild horses set in America. Christopher Gifford Amblerborn 1886worked as Christopher Ambler.Animal painter and illustrator.He drew in pen and inkpencil or brushoften with halftone washesin a bold cheerfully sketchy style.Recorded as having briefly illustrated the boys' paper Nelson Leein 1929.
