Signed and numbered by the author. Review by Davy Rodger. "Over the years those of us who have enjoyed the hare hunting aspect of lurcher work above all others have been short changed when it comes to literature on the activity. .Well here at last is something completely different. Jonathan Darcy has published a book with no rabbitting, no foxing and no bullshit either. "The Hare and the Swift Hound" is cover to cover hares and lurchers. It's an odd shape, the book being wider than it is high, but is the perfect format for the many glossy full colour pictures. .Included in the book are a number of short articles. One is a diary of the efforts to hand rear a leveret for example,which I found interesting as I once reared three Irish hare leverets myselfand eventually released them back to the wild. Another important feature is the inclusion of interviews with probably the two most renowned coursing men in the country, Alan Sankey and Craig Nuttall, and about time too. Whata contrast to the crabbers who never walked on fenland but seem ever keen to disparage fen dogs and fen hares based on zero experience. As Craig says the reason he went all the way down there two or three times a week pre banwas precisely because he wanted to test his dogs with the BEST HARES in the country. Alan takes care to mention and to thank the two men who donated their permission each year for the running of the Forley Cup and later the Forley Legends, Jimmy Ford and Tony Howley." A book mainly of superb photographs of hares and coursing dogs which sold out immediately on publication. . Seller Inventory # 30686
