ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2006). 2006 1st edition. 8vo (150 x 217mm). Ppviii,138. B/w photographs, illustrations by Corona Thornycroft. Black boards, upper board and spine titled in gilt. Very good in dust-wrapper. Signed by the author. No. 25 of an edition limit…ed to 300 numbered copies. In 1959 the eighteen year old Gray bought a copy of Nigel Thornycroft's "Fowler's Moon." The book told of coastal fowling on the salt marshes of the Wash, and described many places that the young Gray knew. He wrote to Thornycroft, by now farming in Rhodesia, beginning a long correspondence and friendship. Many of their letters are reproduced here, discussing wildfowling and giving vivid first-hand descriptions of the last days of the old Rhodesia and the beginning of Mugabe's regime. Gray describes his 1981 hunting safari on the Zambesi with the Thornycroft family. In the latter part of the book he reproduces sections from the game diaries of Corona Thornycroft, Nigel's wife; game shooting and wildfowling, fishing and an elk-hunt, illustrated by her charming sketches. Finally comes Nigel's description of an exciting and successful day punt-gunning for wigeon with Peter Scott. Fenman in Africa should be read in conjunction with Nigel Thornycroft's "Fowler's Moon" and "Nigel and Corona", with which it shares characters and settings. Coch-y-Bonddu stock numbers, 24622 and 34598 respectively. . Corona Thornycroft (illustrator).

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1990). 1990 1st edition. 4to (177 x 232mm). Ppviii,184. B/w photographs, illustrations, end-paper maps. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight lean to spine but clean. Good-plus in used and slightly tacky dust-wrapper. Tales of wildf…owling, fishing and skating on the Nene Washes. "The Nene Washes, formed as part of a plan to improve the drainage of the Fens in the early eighteenth century, provide a home for geese and other wildfowl as well as grazing for cattle. Today the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds owns much of Whittlesey Wash; in earlier days the land was the haunt of wildfowlers and eel fishermen. It is these wildfowlers and fishermen, who found both their livelihood and their sport in this wild waste of reeds and tall grasses, that are the subject of Phil Gray's book. They were men who were always opposed to anything that might curtail either their business or their sport, and in the old days things were apt to become quite lively whenever their interests were at stake. Many of these stories of shooting and fishing are told in the words of men like George "Wigger" Hailstone, Bert Weldon and Bill Benstead, who remember going in search of wildfowl on the flooded washes in their gunpunts in days when a good shot with the big gun might result in a hamper of plovers or duck going off to Leadenhall Market. Rough fellows they were, but they loved their sport and they loved the washlands." .
