This book details with a wonderful sense of narrative a number of deer-hunts, expertly recounted by Henry William Herbert under his pen name, Frank Forrester . These fascinating accounts are told with uncanny realism, detailing the problems and successes of deer-hunters in the south-western counties of nineteenth century England. Sure to appeal to modern hunters and collectors of antiquarian sporting literature, this rare book was first published in 1843 and is proudly republished here with an original biography of its author. Henry William Herbert (1807 1858) was an English novelist, poet, historian, illustrator, and writer on sport, idealised by his pupils and unsurpassed as a sportsman.\“
