Dark blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Good-plus in slightly frayed dust-wrapper. Ian Niall's observation of the wildlife (and domesticated animals) around his cottage near Llandudno. "He writes of hawks and hawking - falcons, goshawks, buzzards - and of what he learned about them and about himself. Then Ian Niall became a shepherd to his own few sheep with the idea of endless saddles of lamb and chops, - but the sheep too had their personalities which they pitted in their way against that of the shepherd. Whether writing of birds or sheep, ducks and bantams, reclaimed battery-crippled hens or a strange crossbred bird which could have been a mixture of tame and wild, Ian Niall is contantly interesting and informative. The house of the title is his cottage and what he writes of in this book went on around it." Chapters include:- Myself when young; My first affair; A hawk on my fist; A-hunting I did go; The innocent lamb; The year of the quail; Bees in my bonnet; Honey harvest; Duck-keeper; Bantams and battery birds; Pursuit of Phantams. .

Green boards, gilt titles to spine. Edition limited to 1000 numbered copies. Un-numbered out of series copy. Fine in dust-wrapper. "This book is an autobiography of the happiest days of my life. It contains the most vivid recollections I have of all the things that impressed me most and all the people I loved and worshipped, like my burly great-uncles, Charlie and Peter, my grandfather and great-grandfather, dearold Miss Dunbar and Great-Aunt Maggie .and Stewart, the man who knew horses. It is also an account of the warm summer day when my whooping-cough was cured, the day the vet operated on my poisoned foot and the days the milking-cow won a silver tea-service and the trotting-horse his last race. .It is impossible to travel in that world of Galloway as it once was and I set it down [now] to preserve its beauty as far as I am able and while I can." This edition includes photographs of the author's family not in the first edition. The new dust-wrapper has been adapted from that of "Wigtown Ploughman". A nice new edition of one of Ian Niall's scarcest titles. .
