Guy Wheeler THE YEAR ROUND First Edition
First edition, first print hardback of the stories through a foxhunter's calendar THE YEAR 'ROUND, by Guy Wheeler and published by Gentry Books Ltd., London, in 1968. Illustrations by the celebrated equestrian artist Peter Biegel.The book is in very good condition (Clean black cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine) with only slight wear to the dust jacket, which is price clipped (light creasing to the edges, minor rubbing to a couple of corners, slight foxing inside the jacket). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions. There is a previous owner's 'Ex-Libris' bookplate attached to the front board and foxing to the page ends.
"If ever there was a man who knew his countryside and understood the noble science of hunting the fox, it is Guy Wheeler. He also has the gift of telling a good story, of writing about people and horses and hounds and places with an uncommon warmth of word and humour. And being a practical man, he appreciates the fact that for those people who relish the hunt and everything that goes towards its making, there is not a single month in the year which does not have its story to tell, its contribution to make.
He has told them, from September to August, with a pace and a charm which will delight not only those who ride to hounds but that legion of people, be they town or country dwellers, who respond to the sight and the sound of huntsman and hounds.
His text is complemented in this book by the brilliant drawings of Peter Biegel. Together, they have produced a volume which would have delighted the heart of Siegfried Sassoon himself - not to mention Surtees."
128 pages. Illustrated with black and white drawings.
