REF: Nevill, 23 "A Principle Sporting Book"; Higginson: 52; Smith: 400; ODNB; DWB; Biscotti: 22. Charles James Apperley, writing under the pseudonym Nimrod, is a vivid and sprawling portrait of fox-hunting in early 19th-century England. The book follows Apperley's tours through counties like Leicestershire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Warwickshire, and others, as he attends hunts, meets sporting characters, and writes letters and reflections on the chase. It weaves together lively anecdotes, tales of celebrated riders (crack riders), discussions of etiquette, descriptions of the countryside, and technical observations about riding to hounds. The style is ornate by modern standards, with a fondness for detail, flourish, and humor; you get sense not only of the sport itself, but of the social rituals around it: the riders, the huntsmen, the landowners, the country inns, and landscapes traversed. Subjects: Fox-hunting culture; Sporting men & riders; Rural English landscape; 19th-century social etiquette; Letters & riding to hounds; Local character and topography; Tradition & leisure; Field sports and hunting lore, Sporting memoir / travel; British social history; Historical non-fiction.
