"Growing up in the wilds of Northumberland and Scotland, James Percy has enjoyed a privileged life dominated by sporting adventures. He shares his deep respect for the Great British countryside and his passion for conservation, wildlife, shooting and fishing in a series of beautifully written essays." Lord James Percy is the owner of the famous Linhope Estate in Northumberland so it is not surprising that there is an emphasis on grouse shooting, but there are also chapters on pheasant, partridge and woodpigeon shooting, on sea-trout fishing, and on salmon fishing on the river Tyne. Beautifully illustrated with stunning photographs and paintings.
