KEYNOTE A wonderful collection of 350 entries of fox hunting tales The Keen Foxhunter's Miscellany is an intriguing collection of hunting lore with three hundred and fifty entries covering all aspects of fox hunting from yesteryear to the present day. Filled with an abundance of fact, fiction and quirky tales, this is a well researched and entertaining title, which is easy to dip in and out of. Everything to do with fox hunting is here, including profiles of hunting eccentrics such as 'Mad' Jack Mytton (who was so obsessed by his appearance that he owned 150 pairs of breeches) and Harry, Marquis of Hastings, whose tendency to arrive on the field two hours late and sozzled made his brief Mastership of the Quorn a disaster.

His previous books include In Clive's Footsteps, The Big Muddy, Stars of India, an adventure in search of the sub-continent's fortune-tellers; and The Keen Shot's Miscellany, a collection of quirky entries on the subject of shooting.
