This book is "Adrian Dangar's recollections of his life at the sharp end of hunting during which he was a Master and Huntsman of four very different hunts in three unique regions of England - Dartmoor, North Yorkshire and Leicestershire. During this time, the author came into close contact with many fascinating characters that lived and worked in these beautiful landscapes. His memoir portrays these rural lives alongside hunting, frustrations and rewards of organising modern hunting in an illuminating and anecdotal style. This book not only covers his account as the first amateur huntsman of the Quorn in 80 years, but also his time as hunting correspondent, hound judge, conservationist and all-round countryman."
