Books by Eric Hemery

Born in the Blackmoor Vale of Dorset on 1914, Eric Hemery trained as a musician. In intervals between his musical commitments, he studied, explored and guided on Dartmoor. On retirement as a teacher, he switched professionals and became Dartmoor's foremost writer and lecturer. He is the author of the definitive High Dartmoor: Land and People ('the standard work', Daily Telegraph) and until his death in early 1986 was the acknowledged world authority on Dartmoor. He is buried in the churchyard of Meavy, the church where he and his family regularly worshipped.
