Perfect way to hunt without your horse
Norman Fine knows not only how to put togther a great book, but writes with such enthusiasm, clarity, and authenticity that I felt like I was right beside him in his adventures. For the times when I am not able to hunt, this book allows me to hunt with people and places I might not otherwise have met. Thank you, Mr. Fine, for putting together great illustrations of why we love this sport so much.

THEHOUNDS OF ENGLAND- A GUIDE TO THE FOXHOUNDS AND STAGHOUNDS OF ENGLAND TO WHICH ARE ADDED THE OTTER HOUNDS AND HARRIERS OF SEVERAL COUNTIESBy "Gelert" A READ COUNTRY BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT This unique guide was first published in London 1849. Only a small quantity were printed, and it is now a very scarce item commanding high prices from specialist book dealers. READ COUNTRY BOOKS have republished it, using the original text as part of their HISTORY OF HUNTING series. The book consists of one hundred and twenty pages giving details of over one hundred and seventy packs of Foxhounds, Staghounds, Otter houndsand Harriers. Many have detailed notes on their favourite fixtures, names of Masters and Huntsmen and descriptions of their country. Some of these hunts no longer exist and this little book remains a testament to their historical importance. The notes on certain hounds with their breeding and characteristics will prove of much interest to today's huntsmen and hound breeders alike. This important work was the first book of reference available to the hunting world, which in those days was a great and influential body, comprising much of the wealth, rank, and station of the land. It is a fascinating read for any hunting enthusiast, historian, or indeed, anyone with an interest in the many hound breeds in existence today."Hark to the cheering note! They've found him, see!The gorse is waving like a troubled sea;He's gone away; hark, halloo! To the cry!Like swallows skimming o'er the fields they fly." Many of the earliest hunting books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. ... Read more
