William Scarth Dixon 
In the North Countree – Annals and Anecdotes of Horse, Hound, and Herd 

This vintage book, originally published in 1889, contains a collection of hunting anecdotes from the nineteenth century. Providing a fascinating and authentic glimpse of England’s sporting past, this is a volume that will appeal to those with an interest in the history of hunting, and one that would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: ‚Malton to Wit‘, ‚Malton as a Sporting Centre‘, ‚Agnes and the Descendants‘, ‚The Newstead Stud Farm‘, ‚Queen Mary‘, ‚Haricot‘, ‚Caller Ou‘, ‚Blink Ronny’s Leger‘, ‚Blair Athol‘, ‚Ashgill and the Osbornes‘, ‚A Carpet Sportsman‘, ‚Middleham Moor Races‘, ‚John Osborne‘, ‚Mr. King‘, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting.
