Originally published in 1873. Detailed early information and history on hunting in Shropshire and surrounding counties. The illustrated contents include sketches of Squire Forester and his whipper-in, Tom Moody. Many of the earliest field sports 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.
