This vintage book contains John Wilson’s 1901 work, ‘Christopher in his Sporting Jacket’. Originally published in ‘Blackwood’ in 1828, it is a delightful chronicle of sporting life and exquisite idyll of natural boyhood. This volume will appeal to those with a love of the outdoors and rural pursuits, and it would make for a charming addition to any collection. Contents include: ‘Crash Goes the Top-Timber of the Five-Barred Gate’, ‘She is a Salmon, Therefore to be woo’d-She is a Salmon, therefore to be Won’, ‘Up Runs the Tyro Ready-Cocked’, ‘Well, then, After Cat-killing comes Coursing’, ‘Hark Forward, Tantivy’, ‘Well Done, Fro!’, ‘What a Twinkling of Fists and Shillelas!’, and ‘A Red-Deer-A Stag of Ten’. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with its original artwork and text.
