The Queen's Prize: The Story of the National Rifle Association. (Pelham Practical Sports) - Hardcover
This book tells the story of the NRA from its inception in 1859 when, less than half a century after Waterloo, the country feared an invasion by the French, to its much-loved atmosphere and condition in the present day. This unique story reveals how the early Meetings on Wimbledon Common were a social event equal only to Henley and Ascot, when royalty, VIPs from abroad and a regular wit, Mr Punch, came to watch the shooting and to enjoy the entertainments which included concerts by the stars of the day such as Jenny Lind, and sham battles involving thousands of troops. It is, says Lord Cottesloe, the NRA's Deputy President, a book to be enjoyed and savoured by anyone, marksmen or no. "Susie Cornfield has put us all in her debt by putting together this story which is neither a mere compilation of lists or figures, nor a story assembled with dry facts. It is a book of pageantry and passion, of fascination and humour, and it throbs with life. It gives a clear bright picture of times long gone, with an undistorted view of where we are today."
