Author

[edit]

He also wrote a number of books.[1] Some of the books are credited as by Colin D. Willock and others as by Colin Dennistoun Willock and in still others the bookseller description implied that the author's name is Colin Dennistoun writing as Colin Willock.

I have excluded foreign language editions in the list below.

Need to research

[edit]

The following need to be researched to see which section they should be filed under.

  • Day of Confession
  • Dudley : The Worst Dog In The World (illustrated by William Garfit)
  • The Complete Dudley : Further Misadventures of the Worst Dog in the World : An expanded account by Colin Willock

  • Wildfight : A History of Conservation
  • World of Survival

Novels

[edit]
  • The Animal Catchers (1964)
  • Animal Catches (1964) (this may be a typo and needs additional research to see if it's The Animal Catchers. Some booksellers seem to be using OCR software to scan the covers and then not carefully proofreading the results as I'm running into instances of the letter "L" being entered as "I" in titles.)
  • The Coast of Loneliness (1971)
  • The Fighters : A Panoramic Novel About the Fighter War in the West 1939-1945 (1973)

[edit]
  • Kenzie: The Wild Goose Man (1962)
  • The World of Survival The Inside Story of the Famous TV Wildlife Series (1978)

Hunting and Fishing

[edit]
  • The ABC of Shooting: A Complete Guide to Game and Rough Shooting, Wild Fowling, Pigeon Shooting, Deer Stalking and Clay Pigeon Shooting
  • The Anglers' Encyclopaedia
  • Coarse Fishing (also published as The Worthington Guide to Coarse Fishing)
  • Come Fishing With Me
  • Come Fly Fishing With Me
  • Death at Flight (1956)
  • Death at the Strike (1957)
  • Death in Covert (1961)
  • Duck Shooting
  • In Praise of Fishing an Anthology for Addicts
  • The New ABC of Fishing
  • The New ABC of Shooting
  • The Penguin Guide to Fishing
  • Pigeon Shooting
  • Rod, Pole or Perch: A Field Guide to Anglers

Wildlife

[edit]
  • Gorilla (1977)
  • Kingdoms of the East : Animals of the Orient (1991)
  • The Book of the Wood Pigeon (1995) (illustrated by William Garfit)
  • The Enormous Zoo: A Profile of two National Parks (1964) (Some editions use the subtitle Profile of the Uganda National Parks)
  • The Kingdom of the Deep (1990)

Time Life the Worlds Wild Places

[edit]

The following by Colin Willock were published as part of the Time Life the Worlds Wild Places series.

  • Africa's Rift Valley (1974)
  • The American Northwest Coast (1985)
  • The Great Barrier Reef (1985)
  • Labrador (1985)
  • Lapland (1985)
  • The Sahara (1985)

As editor

[edit]

Willock served as the editor for the following works:

  • The Bedside Wildfowler (1966)
  • A Continent in Danger (1966) (by Vincent Serventy)
  • Grey Seal, Common Seal: An Account of Life Histories of British Seals: A Survival Book (1966) (by R. M. Lockley)
  • The Man's Book (1958)
  • S.O.S. Rhino (1967) (by Guggisberg, C. A. W.)

regexp I am using to help spot titles I have not researched: ^\* [a-z :',0-9.-]+ \(19[0-9][0-9]\).*

There is also an older book that must be from another author with the same name:

  • The Poets of the Nineteenth Century (by Colin Willock, editor, published in 1857)

The Survival (TV series) confirms that these were written by the same Colin Willock as the one who worked on the TV show. Some of the books are novels and so they should be separated out. --Marc Kupper|talk 09:18, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
