Hardcover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. First edition square glossy hardcover, Crisp and unmarked, internally tight and bright. Lightly bumped spine ends, tips still sharp. 109 pages; Well illustrated with humorous line drawings Foxhunting stories, like fishing stories, tend to become exaggerated at each telling. Maybe… if I retraces my steps after a hunt, the walls, banks and ditches would not be as fearsome as I first thought. "Two impressions have not been exaggerated, though. One is the Irish horse, totally in a class of its own; nobody can believe just how good the hirelings are until they have ridden one. The other is the warm hospitality and open friendliness of the Irish people. Day or night, whatever the weather, they always have a genuine smile, a pleasant word and a helping hand. For the purist any general information or historical notes in this book might be suspect. Much of it was related to me outside a covert or inside a bar, and I know from past experience that my Irish friends delight in plotting my downfall by trying to unseat me, out-drink me or pull my leg by misinforming me. All the Irish characters mentioned in this book are real people and do exist. Only with my hardy group of Americans have the names been changed to "protect the innocent'.
