This antiquarian book contains a complete guide to the different wild foods of Great Britain, being a comprehensive guide to the recognition, gathering, and preparation of mushrooms, eggs, fruit, vegetables, berries, fish, molluscs, insects, and much more. This timeless handbook will appeal to modern readers with an interest in wilderness survival, and it would make for a fantastic edition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “Introductory”, “The Principles of Simple Cookery”, “A Normal List of the Wild Products of Great Britain”, “Edible Mammals”, “Birds and their Eggs”, “Amphibian: The Edible Frog”, “Fresh-Water Molluscs”, “Edible Insects and Insect Products”, “Crustaceans and Sea Urchins”, etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

MINOR FIELD SPORTS A book for the true countryman of all ages. First published in the early 1900s, now reprinted in a fine-quality hardback edition for a new generation. It will stir many nostalgic memories for older readers and teach younger ones some new and unusual methods of taking various kinds of quarry. Its seven illustrated chapters cover 166 pages and include details and instructions on a fascinating variety of subjects, many of them now illegal. It's a truly readable book from a more innocent age when the country was a freer place. We've reprinted this with genuine pleasure. It describes the sporting activities of a generation only just removed from ours but now separated forever by new legislation and a change in attitudes amongst out-of-touch urbanites. My father described it as 'almost a diary of my country childhood'. It is without doubt the most interesting book we've ever sold and I defy anyone with even a passing interest in the countryside or field sports to be able to flick through it without becoming absorbed.
