Originally published in the early 1930s. The illustrated contents contain chapters on: History of the New Forest Referring Chiefly to Sport - Folklore - Traditions - Superstitions - Fox Hunting - Otter Hunting - Shooting - Badger Digging - The Buckhounds - Hare Hunting - The Modern Forest etc. Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
