Sporting in Both Hemispheres (Classic Reprint)

From European shores to the markets of Brittany and the bustling streets of Shanghai, this memoir gathers a lifetime of outdoor stories. It blends sharp-eyed observations of landscapes, people, and food with entertaining tales of sport, travel, and the changing ways of living in distant lands.

Through early reminiscences and episodes from the author’s wide-ranging journeys, you’ll glimpse not only the thrill of the chase but also the culture and humor that shape each destination. The book reads like a patient, measured logbook of places where fishing lines, rifles, and curiosity converge with history, cuisine, and local character.

• Personal origins and the lifelong pull of angling and hunting


• Vivid scenes from Brittany, India, and Shanghai, among other stops


• Thoughtful reflections on culture, language, and local customs


• A blend of humor, detail, and practical observations from the field

Ideal for readers who enjoy memoirs of travel and sport, and for those curious about 19th-century hunting, fishing, and exploration across hemispheres.
