The Society

The Society was formed in 1994 after some enthusiasts met to visit the Long Mynd and to celebrate 50 years of the Lone Pine books. The event was broadcast as a BBC Radio 4 Kaleidoscope Feature. Listen to introduction (171KB)  

Since then over a thousand members of all ages with a common interest of Saville's work and a love of the English countryside have joined.  All four of Malcolm Saville's sons and daughters are active members of the Society, as are many of his grandchildren.

The Society publishes four informative magazines each year.  During the year we have events at locations mentioned in the books for walks, talks, picnics and treasure hunts.

Members can also use our postal lending library and book search service.
