ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1976). 1976 1st edition. 8vo (142 x 220mm). Ppxii,183. B/w photograph plates. Green boards, spine titled in silver-gilt, dust-wrapper price L3.75. Ex library, usual faults. Working copy in complete dust-rapper. "I sometimes wonder how on… earth I ever survived the rough and tumble way I started my shooting career. It was obvious I did everything wrong from the start. The start began at the age of eight. .I used to spend all my time away from school working, or thinking I was, harrowing with the horse or trying to plough. .[A double-barrelled muzzle loader was produced] from a pile of junk in the shed next to the cow shed. .We took it to pieces and washed the barrels out with boiling water. Then we got it together and loaded it with a clay pipe of black powder, a wad of the Eastern Daily Press, a pipeful of shot and rammed the whole lot down with more paper .We then put on two caps, tied the gun to a tree and fired it by pulling the triggers with a long piece of string. .The stock, which was full of worm holes stood the test without shedding a sprinkle of sawdust and the gun was deemed safe." "Alan Savory's latest collection or reminiscences about shooting, fishing and natural history in general ranges from Norfolk to the West Country." Chapters include: Guns, rods and dogs; The magic of wildfowling; Broadland; Fishing; A mixed bag. .
