Originally published in 1923, this early works is an absorbing collection of articles on sport and natural history, some of which have appeared in The Field, Country Life, The Scottish Field, The Salmon and Trout Magazine and The Saturday Westminster Gazette, and others, which have never been published before.

We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
