This book details with a wonderful sense of narrative a number of deer-hunts, expertly recounted by Henry William Herbert under his pen name, "Frank Forrester". These fascinating accounts are told with uncanny realism, chronicling the problems and successes of deer-hunters in the south-western counties of nineteenth century England. Sure to appeal to modern hunters and collectors of antiquarian sporting literature, this work would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Henry William Herbert (1807 - 1858) was an English novelist, poet, historian, illustrator, and writer on sport. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
