MY UNCLE SILAS - THE DEATH OF UNCLE SILAS - Poignant tale by H.E. Bates.

My Uncle Silas – The Death of Uncle Silas - Poignant tale by “Darling Buds of May” author H. E. Bates. Read by Michael Helme. Illustrations by Edward Ardizzone. In the third of three initial Uncle Silas tales (see "The Lily" and "The Wedding"), Silas is rebellious and feisty to the end. Disbelieving that Silas could really be dying, his great-nephew bids a poignant and fond farewell to a man who "was so old that it had always been hard for me to realize that he had ever been born." (H.E Bates Companion)
