Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald gives a detailed account of all the British birds and mammals which are pursued by sportsmen, as well as other species which are, or were at the time of publication, regarded as vermin by gamekeepers. The book is divided into six parts; the game birds; the wildfowl; the waders; ground game and various; the deer; the preservation of game. This is the second volume in the New Naturalist series. The tone and style of the text is more in the manner of the previous generation of sporting literature than the style and approach which subsequently came to mark the New Naturalist books.
