About This Item
London: Collins, 1949. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. The interior of the book is clean and tight. There is a former owner's name and small stamp on the front free end paper, but no other marks or damage. The red covers are fresh, with just a touch of wear at tips and corners. The dust jacket is price-clipped and has a darkened spine, with a nick of paper missing at the bottom of the spine area. The spine has been reinforced at some time in the past with scotch tape. The tape is gone, but the glue has left a mark on the bottom of the rear panel. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: This is the story of "two families of children who start a pack of foxhounds. They have to conquer much opposition and they meet many difficulties in feeding, kennelling and exercising. Some of their first days out are a failure, but they are quick to learn from their mistakes and show great perserverance. At last, with a great and exciting hunt, they entirely vindicate themselves, securing the praise of the hunting people and winning the respect of the last antagonistic farmer.
