ABC of Fox Hunting

Step into the world of the English countryside through a playful alphabet that turns every letter into a snapshot of a fox‑hunting day. Each entry, from “Andrews my man” to “Zany, all alone in his glory,” pairs a brief, witty description with a vivid colour illustration, bringing the chatter of hounds, the rustle of gorse, and the clatter of boots to life. The format makes the customs and characters of the chase feel both approachable and vividly authentic.

Listening to the guide feels like strolling alongside the riders, hearing the crack of the whip and the low call of the master as the hunt unfolds across fields and woodlands. The concise alphabetic entries serve as quick, charming reference points, each one inviting curiosity about the roles—from the keeper of the hounds to the inn‑keeper serving the gathering crowd. Ideal for those new to the sport or seasoned enthusiasts, the book offers a colourful, bite‑sized tour that celebrates tradition without demanding prior knowledge.
