Good, lacks dust-wrapper. ".the author tells of days spent shooting and fishing, of rare birds seen, of sunsets and dawns remembered, of fishermen and wildfowlers, game-keepers and shepherds, cattle-dealers and dog-dealers. He blends the misty magic of the Welsh hills with the age-old atmosphere of ancient manor houses. He writes with sure knowledge of the Welsh buzzards and mountain sheep, of the wild geese of the Essex Blackwater, of the pheasants and barley of the Norfolk 'brecks,' the trout and snipe of Hampshire water meadows, of Cambridge farmlands, the high wolds and fat cattle of Lincolnshire, and the grass pastures, beeves. and foxes of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. But it is no nostalgic glorification of the country, and if the sportsman finds here the very smell of the woods and fens, the farmer will find, too, sound common sense on such problems as mechanization, deep ploughing, artificial insemination, the quick fattening of store cattle, crop drying and rotation and E.P.T. Here is a book for all who love rural England, its farms and sports, who are concerned - as the author is most keenly - about its future and its freedom." .
