Synopsis

The Tetcott Hunt Week opens a window into rural life, storytelling, and a young man’s imperfect rise into the hunt.”

This memoir follows a four‑day fox hunting week in Devon, blending personal memory with the lived pace of countryside life. With humor and warmth, it tracks a family legacy, the bonds between landowners, keepers, and riders, and the small triumphs and missteps of a novice learning the noble sport. The voice brings scenes of weather, grounds, horses, and the social rituals around the hunt to vivid, intimate life.

Readers will glimpse the era’s routines and the emotional currents beneath a nation’s pastime—from memorable hunts and horse lore to family loss, resilience, and the pull of home. It’s a portrait of place, people, and the small, stubborn joys of pursuing a shared passion through mud, rain, and memory.

• Atmospheric scenes of early mornings, riders, and pack details that set the tone of countryside sport


• Personal turns of fortune, family history, and the ties that bind a home to its land


• Humor, courage, and the practical craft of hunting life across four days


• reflections on memory, belonging, and returning to one’s roots

Ideal for readers who love memoirs rooted in place, tradition, and the quiet drama of daily life in the countryside.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
