1937 1st edition. 8vo (140 x 225mm). Pp207. B/w photographs. Green cloth, blind-ruled upper board, spine titled in gilt.
Recollections of nearly forty years of sport in Ireland, chiefly about snipe and woodcock, game shooting and wildfowling, but there are accounts of fishing for salmon in Connemara and Kerry, and dapping for trout on Lough Corrib. "...both informative and reminiscent about the sport obtainable in Western Eire for the man of hard muscles and light purse." (Where To Fish 1939). Splendidly dedicated "To the best bag I made in Ireland - my wife."
