Synopsis

A vivid, immersive look at a traditional fox-hunt from paddock to first draw.

This nonfiction account follows the rhythm of a hunt, detailing the meet, the crowd, the dogs, and the horsemen as they prepare and press the chase. It invites readers to experience the atmosphere, listens to the voices, and notices the small, telling moments that define a day in the field.

In this edition, you’ll encounter the sensory detail of the meet: trainers, carriages, and the shared anticipation just before the first slip. The narrative moves through the paddock, the lines of spectators, and the steady pace of the hunt, capturing both the camaraderie and the tension that come with the chase. It blends memory, observation, and period color to present a portrait of fox-hunting at its traditional best.

• A front-row view of the meet, the crowd, and the preparation for the hunt
• Close portraits of hounds, riders, and their routines, plus the dogs in action
• Vivid scenes from the countryside, the pacing of the chase, and the music of the pursuit
• Reflections on history, culture, and the lasting appeal of the field sports

Ideal for readers of hunting history and outdoor traditions who want a richly detailed snapshot of a day in the field.
