Good-plus in dust-wrapper with some spotting. 5s. net. "This chronicle of village life was mainly written during the two months of comparative calm which were destined to be the sinister prelude to total war. Moreover, the calm was emphasized, at least in the countryside, by coincidence with one of the bitterest spells of winter within living memory. For a few weeks Larkfield (as I have called the village) experienced something of that self-sufficiency which was the basis of English rural life in the days before Enclosure. And now, as I write this introductory note, every vestige of that calm has been shattered. Larkfield watches the approach of happenings which have no equal in terror or frightfulness. And meanwhile spring unfolds with a completeness only matched by the completeness of the winter that preceded it: the English countryside puts forth her loveliest and best to front the enemy, .Already the Larkfield I have tried to picture in these pages wears the aspect of a dream .but it is a dream that must be kept before our waking eyes when the horrors that sought to blind us are past." C. Henry Warren, from the Foreword. Interesting and readable. .

"I have for many years felt the need of a Shooting Man's Bedside Book which contained, not technical instructions 'how to shoot' or 'how to breed' pheasants and manage a shoot, but which was largely composed of the best descriptive writing on the sport. What interests me (and I think I am an average person) are the actual experiences of shooting men in the field, as long as those accounts are realistic and couched in good English. .Such have I tried to make this volume. But .I have included a certain amount of useful information, shooting records, ballistics, etc., which are necessary and would be demanded if they were omitted. In any case they serve as pastry to what I hope will prove an interesting and palatable pie." B.B. includes a disproportionate amount of wildfowling, for its wildness sake, and, "It is also the most unpopular form of shooting, and I never cease to give thanks for this fact." The articles are divided so - boyhood memories - a mixed bag - some record bags of game - the great bustard - gun dogs - gamekeepers and poachers - deer stalking - wildfowling - 'let us be always out of doors'.

Slight spotting to edges and end-papers. Small tear to bottom of hinge on upper board. Spine faded and marked. Good. Lacks dust-wrapper. A description of country life throughout the year in the form of letters from a countryman to a friend overseas. Natural history, field sports and carp and other observations of country life as it once was. Illustrated with full-page scraperboard plates and many smaller black-and-white illustrations by the author. "Where is Compton Deverell? It may be anywhere you choose in the English countryside, because 'BB' has drawn a living picture of that sort of delightful old house among fields and woods, the ideal English home which thousands of exiles and town dwellers remember from their childhood or hope to have in that future for which they work and plan. The letters are written by a countryman to a younger friend abroad and they describe the routine of country life throughout the months of the year as it engages an active man with a contemplative mind. They recount the discovery of the small signs of spring, the delights of summer and long days spent in the open air, and the white beauty of winter which the townsman hardly knows. The period includes the 'black winter' of 1947-48, which will long be remembered as the most severe of the century. Here then is a tranquil book designed for casual reading, calling up the very sights, sounds and smells of the English countryside. It is one of the most intimately observed of 'BB's' books, and one of the most endearing." .

"BB describes himself as a hunter-naturalist-artist and in this rare and valuable combination we may well find the explanation of the minute observation displayed. the quiet simplicity of the wood engravings is peculiarly suited to the author's style."

Country Lib. S (illustrator). (Paperback, 1987). 1987 1st edition thus. Small 8vo paperback (119 x 196mm). Ppviii,118. B/w illustrations by "BB". Spine faded, slight use & browning but good-plus. This book is based on "BB"s earlier "Be quiet and go a-angling" (1949), written under the pseudonym "Michael Traherne". However, it would appear that "BB" intended publishing "Fisherman's Folly" very much earlier since he cites it as a source for a chapter, "The Abbey Moat", in "The Fisherman's Bedside Book" (1945). .

(Hardcover, 1971). (1939) 1971 3rd edition reprint. 8vo (144 x 226mm). Ppxiv,258. B/w illustrations by D.J. Watkins-Pitchford. Light grey boards, feather motif printed on blue on upper board, spine titled in blue. Foxing to edges but good-plus in frayed, laminated dust-wrapper. "From the silent mysterious Arctic the wild geese come every winter to those well-loved lands which the writer knows so intimately and describes so well. One of them stands out in the great arrowhead, leading his fellows. It is Manka, the white goose, whose story is told in this book. Like every other wild creature, Manka's life is a perpetual struggle, against nature and against man. The hostility of man is crystallized in the efforts of Foxy, the cunning old marshland poacher, to entrap Manka, whose freedom is a challenge to his skill." "I personally was absorbed from start to finish and put the book down with a feeling of satisfaction that I rarely feel when I have read an animal story. the best book of its type I have read or am likely to read." (Brian Vesey Fitzgerald). .
