Originally published in the late 1800s. The author was a well known naturalist and sportsman. His favourite haunts were the woodlands and marshes of the southern counties of England. This book contains many anecdotes of his sporting adventures. Contents include: With the Woodlanders - Poachers and Poaching - Old Hedgerows - Alders and Reeds - When March Winds Blow - Where Grass is Green - British Game Birds - Chance Shots and Odd Fish - Wanderers - More About Fowling on Longshore, etc. Many of the earliest shooting and natural history books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
