Synopsis

In 'Red Letter Days' Rory Knight Bruce has not just written a book about hunting in Britain today but has taken his personal odyssey into the heart and soul of the countryside and its people. Conceived at the Berkeley Hunt Kennels and brought up by his father's kennel huntsman, it could be said that the author was bred to hunting. That he has also immersed himself in a life of writing makes him uniquely placed to tell the stories in this book, acutely observed but with real care and feeling for both hunting and the countryside. 'Red Letter Days' is not the journey of a die-hard huntsman but more a voyage in the traditions of Cobbett and Kilvert.
