Book excerpt: This vintage book contains detailed accounts of various hunting expeditions and experiences in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century England, with descriptions of notable participants, events, and packs. Profusely illustrated and full of interesting information, this volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of fox hunting, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Peterborough Memories, 1881-1909", "The Quorn at Kirby Gate", "With Frank Gillard on a Lenton Brook Day. Forty Minutes and a Kill", "Two Good Days in 1889 seen with the Cottesmore and George Gillson", "A Hunt with the Duke of Beaufort's Hounds", "Good Grey Hunters", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. This volume, originally published in 1910, is being republished now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting. .
