Synopsis
Those of us who pursue countryside activities know that they are the greatest of levellers: one minute birdsong, next minute cowpat. Here wehave a collection of wry snippets about those situations that can arise when keeping hunting dogs, going out in the beating line or following the hunt. We accompany the author through mud, nettles, brambles, hell and high water, waiting for recalcitrant dogs or attempting smooth talking when straight talking would be more natural. We meet a variety of country characters with unexpected skills and endless patience, who mostly remain good-humoured despite encountering extreme discomfort, or being caught in circumstances.

Fine new copy. "Here in this second collection of countryside tales, we meet old friends and find some new ones too, as we accompany the author out with her dogs and at the mercy of those rustic surprises that can catch any of us unawares. This is real countryside, wet, muddy and overgrown, where triumph and disaster are easy companions. We all know how quickly one can change to the other before the human side of the arrangement has time to get on terms - and by then, the dogs are there already. Ah yes, the dogs: the lurchers and terriers, hounds and gundogs that sweep us up with the scent into their thought processes, and take us where we are so privileged to be. Dry, laconic, brief and to the point, the author takes us across the land by day and by night, and shares those times in the field that are oh so familiar to grassroots sportsmen and women. Once more we have two guest contributions from her stoical ever-supportive partner, who provides a highly individual, heavily biased view from the beating line, especially where terriers are concerned."
