Product Description
This fine, old fashioned book about foxhunting is the perfect present for children and newcomers. Not published for half a century it’s packed with fascinating stories and detailed (excellent) advice such as “It is inadvisable to try to impress people by telling them of all the terrific places you have been jumping.” The Hon. Charles Willoughby tells it like it is: Middleton Veda who ‘never changed’ and killed her fox alone; Nimrod, the atrocious hunter who “Ought to have been shot as a foal”; and the hilarious episode when hounds did a bit of housebreaking with the Hursley Hambledon. A cracking read, and a snip at twenty pounds.
