ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1949). (1937) 1949 reprint. 8vo (140 x 222mm). Pp118. Colour frontispiece painting, b/w illustrations by T. Ivester Lloyd. Red cloth, spine titled in gilt. Two 10" gramophone records were issued by Parlophone to accompany this book.

"The object of this sound-book is not merely an excuse to reproduce the sounds of the hunting-field for the gramophone. For without the text and visual illustrations much of the value of the records will have gone, and it is to the text first and then to the records that the reader must run before he can appreciate the full scope and purpose of this sound-book. The music of the hunting scene, the sound of the horn, the cry of hounds, the voice of the huntsman, is not only glorious to listen to but is also a language fascinating in itself and not easy to learn. It is this language which [this book] seeks to disclose, which when understood, will add much to the joys and appreciation of a day's fox-hunting." Chapters include: Part One by Michael F. Berry: Melody and the need for it; Hound music; The huntsman's voice and horn in covert; The huntsman's voice and horn in the open; The quietness of the whipper-in; The silence of the master; The field as listeners. Part Two by D.W.E. Brock, the commentary: Record 101A - the horn, the huntsman's voice; Record 101B - the huntsman's voice on the road, the whipper-in's voice on the road; Record 102A - the hunt; Record 102B, the hunt (continued). Each of the twelve full-page drawings explains a part of the action in the recording: Encourage them with his voice to spread out and to draw; The woodland huntsman learns wonderfully quickly the notes of individual hounds; That when a hound can wind a fox he feels compelled to make a vocal announcement of the fact; Deer help him to picture the devil as having horns; Half the pack appear, shall he stop them?; While the first whipper-in repeats his holloa the huntsman gallops towards him, doubling his horn; Once they can hear the horn they will probably leave the whipper-in and gallop straight towards it across country; The leading hounds of his pack just breaking the bounds fence of the covert; People who do not listen soon get thrown out; If the hounds are to keep their heads down they must not be given an excuse for looking up to inquire, 'whatever is the meaning of all that noise?'; Giving way to temptation; When hounds are running in view there is a volume and insistence in their cry rarely heard at any other stage. .…
