Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Rodger McPhail (illustrator). First Edition. 2004. xi, 193pp. B&W illustrations. Laminated hardcover is in excellent condition with no inscriptions, and all contents are tight and clean. No jacket, as issued. "The Ribble estuary is one of the three most important wildfowl and water grounds in the British Isles. The author's forefathers shot and fished this estuary in the days of the muzzle loader, much further back than the book goes, and his tales, passed down over the generations, make fascinating reading. The unpublished diaries, hidden in Preston's reference library for over 75 years, tell of the author's great grandfather betting on sparrow shooting yards from Lytham's shopping centre. There is the story of old Josh living off the estuary in his tin hut at the edge of the marsh in the early 1900s; of near-death adventures and real tragedies.". Seller Inventory # BirdsEtc005
