The Way It Was is a fascinating story from a hunting legend. Captain Ian Farquhar writes his memoir about a life lived through an era which is no more. As Baroness Mallalieu, President of the Countryside Alliance puts it: “This book deserves to be read by those who want to remember a world which has changed vastly over one man’s lifetime and also those who want to understand what has been lost.” Farquhar details his younger years, going to school, through the army, meeting the love of his life and developing as a premier Master and Huntsman of Foxhounds. This is perhaps a nostalgic book, but in the best possible way. Imbued with the love of family, friendship and sport, impressing in its depth of knowledge and inspiring in its modesty, tolerance and understanding.
