This vintage book, originally published in 1920, contains a comprehensive guide to fox hunting on the Lakeland Fells in the Lake District, England. With detailed descriptions of the countryside and a wealth of useful information, this timeless handbook is highly recommended for modern sportsmen and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage sporting literature of those with an interest in the history of English fox hunting. Contents include: "The Country", "The Fell Fox", "The Fell Hounds", "Hunting on the Fells", and "Reminiscences". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting.
