"'After a day on the moors, stubbles, or a woodland day, I like to
take up a book beside my fire and read of other good long days past
and gone. Such I have tried to make this volume.' - BBFirst
compiled by BB in 1946, he aimed to create a book which was largely
composed of the best descriptive writings on the sport of shooting.
These pages are packed with evocative and stirring passages for
sportsmen to enjoy after a day out and during the long winter
evenings.The extracts chosen represent some of the greatest writers
from Richard Jefferies to the poet John Masefield.BB himself, one
of the most evocative writers on the countryside, is well
represented in both his writings and his fine scraperboard
illustrations. "
