(Hardcover, 1997). 1997 1st edition. 4to (199 x 268mm). Pp192. Colour illustrations by Graeme Puckett, b/w photographs. Green boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Near fine in dust-wrapper. (Dust-wrapper has marks inside from long storage). This book "brings together the fascinating tales of a broad range of women; from the independent spirit of the herdswoman or shepherdess, through the supportive loyalty of the wife of a gamekeeper or farmer, to the more comfortable lifestyle of high-born ladies with an entourage of servants. Single or married, rich or poor, all are united by a love of nature, a sense of community and a determination to succeed. While some have followed exacting careers, in agriculture and a wide variety of other rural professions, others have led equally interesting lives as country wives, the 'woman behind the man', responsible for running his life while he ran his business. All country life can be found here: tales of caring for wild animals, stories of church and social activities, the Women's Institute, the Mother's Union and the parish council. Also to be found are reminiscences of growing up with the innocence of a country childhood, village shows and markets, folklore and superstition, leisure pursuits ranging from card games by lantern-light and darts in the village pub to the thrills of hunting, shooting and fishing. In addition to all this, the author has gathered a selection of traditional country recipes from the ladies who are the fascinating subjects of this book." PREVIOUS PRICE £17.99.

Good-plus in price-clipped dust-wrapper. "Before detailing the history and present sport of each estate, region by region, the author sets the scene by outlining the history of gameshooting in Britain: the changing attitude of society; how economics play an increasingly important part; how the popular press has perpetuated an inaccurate image; how technical developments have shaped both gunmaking and game rearing; and much more. The inter-relationship between shooting and conservation, and the important contribution to the general welfare of our flora and fauna by most shoot proprietors, are given special attention. While historical sources have been consulted fully to reveal the fascinating stories behind these shoots, the author has travelled widely to all the important estates to examine at first hand the sport and then men who make it. He has sampled much of the shooting, and has enjoyed rare hospitality with both self-made millionaires, and those whose family wealth has been acquired over centuries; brewers and bankers; diplomats and dandies; farmers and fanatics, all of whom are enthusiastic about a thoroughly British institution which has never been more popular." .

"Before detailing the history and present sport of each estate, region by region, the author sets the scene by outlining the history of gameshooting in Britain: the changing attitude of society; how economics play an increasingly important part; how the popular press has perpetuated an inaccurate image; how technical developments have shaped both gunmaking and game rearing; and much more. The inter-relationship between shooting and conservation, and the important contribution to the general welfare of our flora and fauna by most shoot proprietors, are given special attention. While historical sources have been consulted fully to reveal the fascinating stories behind these shoots, the author has travelled widely to all the important estates to examine at first hand the sport and then men who make it. He has sampled much of the shooting, and has enjoyed rare hospitality with both self-made millionaires, and those whose family wealth has been acquired over centuries; brewers and bankers; diplomats and dandies; farmers and fanatics, all of whom are enthusiastic about a thoroughly British institution which has never been more popular." .
