This book contains a collection of vintage articles on hunting, fishing, and other outdoor sports. These authentic accounts of real sporting experiences are both entertaining and informative, and are highly recommended for modern readers with an interest in rural sports. Contents include: "Sporting Notes and Sketches", "Meltoniana", "Hawking the Magpie", "With an Engagement", "Shooting on the Norfolk Broads", "Dick Christian", "The Fishing Duck of Donegal", "The Past Stag-Hunting Season", "A Tandem on Snow-Shoes", "Charley Wells' Yarn", "The King of the Colours", "Salmon Fishing in the Labrador", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition.

Coverage of publications outside the UK and in non-English languages expands steadily until, in 1991, it occupies enough of the Guide to require publication in parts.
