Hunting Winds

Wallace, Harold Frank

Verlag: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1949

Beschreibung

Very nice first edition in original color illustrated dust jacket showing light sunning on spine where a couple of chips are in dj. Closed tear in head of frt panel that hits the letter N in 'Winds' in title. Otherwise, straight, solid, sharp and fresh smelling. 351pp text with soft line drawings. Wallace writes of stalking, fishing, shooting and big game hunting, with a seasoning of those very good stories and pleasant reveries which give a flavor to everything he writes. This book has a breeze of fresh mountain air, an evocation of all that was best in a kind of life that is now passing, the solitudes and the enchantment of the uncommercialized Highlands which the writer has known intimately for many years. Many of the chapters and all the illustrations appear for the first time here, but some portions of the chapters on big game hunting appeared originally in 'Big Game' and and portions of the Scottish chapters appeared originally in 'A Highland Gathering'.
