Description

A lively compilation that gathers the voices of seasoned hunters, riders, and anglers, this volume offers a snapshot of country sport at the turn of the century. From the thrill of a first fox‑hunt to the quiet patience of salmon‑spearing, each piece blends humor with genuine affection for the chase, inviting listeners to linger over the quirks of old‑school pursuits.

The anthology features contributions from well‑known writers and sporting personalities, all illustrated with charming sketches that bring the tales to life. Readers will hear anecdotes about steadfast hounds, curious horses, and the occasional eccentric gentleman who still rides into his eighties. Practical notes on shooting, fishing, and kennel‑keeping sit beside vivid recollections of field‑side camaraderie, making the collection both an entertaining read and a useful guide for anyone drawn to the timeless allure of the outdoors.
