Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Abbey Improved: Chilled Shot Co
There is a class of readers whose love of sport and nature is immense, but whose lines are laid for the most part in uninteresting Wildernesses of bricks and mortar. Letters Often reach me from such sources, and I gather that books of sporting reminiscences appeal most strongly, and bring feelings of delight, tempered maybe with regret, if they contain a whiff of the heather and turf reek, wafted through sunlight by breezes, perhaps brine - laden, to the music of rippling, gurgling streams, roaring rivers, or lake wavelets breaking on the Shore. Days in Thule with Rod, Gun, and Camera, and Days of My Life on Waters Fresh and Salt, made me many friends among the class I refer to, and I venture to hope that this latest effort of my pen will not be less pleasing to them and other readers than the two books of like character, which have gone before.
