First UK edition, first print hardback of DEATH IN THE LONG GRASS (A big game hunter's adventures in the African Bush) by Peter Hathaway Capstick and published by Cassell Ltd. in 1978.
The book is in very good condition (green cloth boards with silver lettering to spine) with light creasing to the top of the spine and light bumping to the top corner of the back board. The dust jacket, which is not price clipped, is in very good condition with light creasing to the top of the front and back covers and spine as well as to the bottom corner of the front cover. Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions.
Based on Capstick's own experiences and the personal accounts of his colleagues, Death in the Long Grass portrays the wild animals of the African bush - not only the lion, leopard, and elephant, but the primitive rhino and the crocodile waiting for its unsuspecting prey, the titanic hippo, and the Cape buffalo charging like an express train out of control.
Capstick is a born raconteur whose colourful descriptions and eye for exciting, authentic detail bring us face to face with these and other inhabitants of the wild.
297 pages including black & white photographs, plus Foreword and Acknowledgements.
