First edition.
In this book sportsmen of all sorts, and more especially those whose first interest is shooting, can accompany the Author and take part in a number of different shooting days. He takes us from Norfolk to Yorkshire and to Wales (through Derbyshire) until we are back once more in East Anglia.
The Author has aimed at capturing the sparkle and spirit of each occasion, and whether we are standing with him in a line of skilful guns waiting for spectacular pheasants in Wales or Yorkshire, or enjoying the thrill of partridges in Norfolk, we cannot help but respond to the excitements and pleasures of shooting which are described and photographed in these pages.
