The BB Society
The BB Society’s primary aim is to keep alive the rich heritage of ‘BB’s sporting, children’s, countryside and nature writings, and to alert a growing generation to the threats facing the countryside and its rural traditions. The Society is for the enjoyment of anyone who may have an interest in the life and works of the renowned Northamptonshire author, illustrator and countryman, Denys Watkins-Pitchford MBE - perhaps best known by his pen name 'BB'. It is hoped that it will encourage an interest in the Society and all its widespread activities.
