| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains a description of fox hunting in Quorn, Leicestershire, England. Quorn was a popular location for fox hunting in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With historical information and details of notable people and events, this volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of English fox hunting, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Quorn Country-Melton Mowbray-Quorn Kennels-Quorn Hounds", "Mr. Boothby and Mr. Maynell", "Lord Sefton, Lord Foley, and Mr. Assheton Smith", "Mr. Osbaldeston, Sir Bellingham Graham, and Lord Southampton", "Sir Harry Goodricke, Mr. Holyoake Goodricke, and Mr. Rowland Errington", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. This volume is being republished now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting. |
