Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds" is a vibrant and satirical masterpiece of Victorian sporting fiction, serving as the final novel by the celebrated author R.S. Surtees. The story follows the exploits of the audacious Facey Romford, a man who, despite lacking the high-born credentials typically a…ssociated with the sport, manages to elevate himself to the position of Master of Fox-Hounds through a combination of wit, sheer gall, and a series of clever deceptions.Set against the backdrop of the English countryside, the narrative provides a humorous yet keen-eyed look at the social hierarchies and eccentricities of the 19th-century hunting set. Alongside the spirited Lucy Glitters, Romford navigates a world of equestrian pursuits, elaborate schemes, and social maneuvering. Surtees's sharp wit and detailed knowledge of the sporting world shine through in his vivid depictions of the hunt and the colorful characters who populate it.As a cornerstone of English sporting literature, "Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds" offers readers an engaging blend of comedy and social commentary. It remains an essential work for those interested in the history of hunting, the evolution of the Victorian novel, and the enduring charm of Surtees's uniquely satirical voice.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
