Reminiscences of game shooting days - grouse, pheasants, partridges, duck, snipe, woodcock, rabbits and hares, woodpigeons and more". I wrote this book because I found it a pleasure, in whatever spare time I could get from military duties in the past four years, to think about days of sport which were gone. It is a book partly of reminiscence, partly of essays on shooting from my own personal point of view. It is not a guide to game preserving, nor a treatise on the use of the gun: I have no advice to give, and nothing to write of economics: merely I have set down memories and thoughts of days shooting in English fields and woods and on the moors and hills of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. ...I ought to add that the book was originally undertaken at the request of the Editor of The Field, whom I have to thank, with my friend Mr. Hugh Sheringham, the Angling Editor, who first suggested the idea of the book to me". (From the preface to the first edition). This 1932 edition was "...revised and considerably enlarged. The last chapter has been re-written". It also includes several black and white illustrations, the first edition was unillustrated.
