"Collection of short stories [which] began as correspondence between the author and his young granddaughters". Shooting with dogs, with stories of rural life in pre-war America". Taylor has been hunting with dogs since he was eleven years old, and in these stories, the author describes in moving prose the special relationship between hunters, between a master and his dog, and between the hunter and the great outdoors. The stories illustrate the tough way many in the United States were raised before World War II and the relationships that were forged in hard times that have lasted a lifetime. Taylor says that he was born and bred to hunt, that both parents were hunters, and that both parents provided meat for the table during the Depression".
