Fox Hunting In The Shires (1903) is a book written by Thomas Francis Dale, which provides a comprehensive account of the sport of fox hunting in the English counties of Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of fox hunting, such as the history of the sport, the breeding and training of foxhounds, the role of the master of the hunt, and the etiquette and dress code associated with the sport.Throughout the book, Dale shares his own experiences as a fox hunter, providing vivid descriptions of the countryside, the hounds, and the foxes themselves. He also includes anecdotes and stories from other hunters, as well as detailed descriptions of the various hunts and the tactics used to catch the elusive fox.In addition to its detailed coverage of fox hunting, the book also provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural world of the English countryside at the turn of the 20th century. Dale describes the various characters involved in the sport, from the wealthy landowners who funded the hunts to the working-class men who served as grooms and kennelmen.Overall, Fox Hunting In The Shires is a valuable historical document that provides a wealth of information about one of England’s most iconic sports, as well as a fascinating insight into the social and cultural world of rural England at the turn of the century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
