"Wentworth Day needs no introduction to the world of sport. Born and brought up in one of the best sporting districts of East Anglia, he has been a keen shot for more than sixty years, and during that period he has shot in most parts of Britain under diverse circumstances, from large and highly-organized shoots on great estates to rough shoots of the roughest description... He is able to write from an essentially practical point of view and from wide personal experience of the problems which confront the shooting man, whether he is the owner of an estate, the lessee of a shoot, or one who takes a gun in a syndicate... This remarkable work, the primary purpose of which is instruction in all matters relating to shooting, is nevertheless so packed with entertaining anecdotes that any lover of nature and the countryside will delight in its pages.
