Notes: "In this selection of gentle, contemplative musings, Max Hastings shares some of his favourite rural moments; tramping the snipe bogs of Waterford; dogging hedges in Hampshire and moors in Sutherland; casting a fly from Scotland to Iceland and Alska; and shooting in India and the west of Ireland." "Adventure makes the best dreams, whether tiger-fishing in Zimbabwe or crawling alone, rifle- armed and belly-flat, along a Scottish mountainside in winter, the essential physical endeavor and solitude are contained in these accounts of the author's days outdoors." (Country Life).
