Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Anyone who has had anything to do with riding, hunting and country pursuits cannot fail to recognise and delight in the situations with a common thread of ever innocent horses, worldly-wise hounds, maniacally mischievous terriers and permanently harassed humans in John Tickner's superbly crafted cartoons. Tickner's outstanding draughtsmanship and powers of observation combined with his deep love and knowledge of country life, produced some of the finest and funniest horse and sporting cartoons ever drawn. This was attested by Tickner's long-standing connection with "Horse & Hound"; one of his cartoons appearing in the publication each week for 20 years. This commemorative book, which covers all aspects of the horseman's year, is one that every horseman and country lover should have on their shelves, not only as an invaluable record of an artist's work but also just for the sheer joy of it.
