Samenvatting:

This vintage book contains a collection of reminiscences and anecdotes by Frank Gray Griswold, a notable nineteenth-century huntsman. It offers a unique insight into the experiences of a keen aristocratic hunter, and is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of the sport. Insightful and entertaining, "Stolen Kisses" would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: "Stolen Kisses", "What Happened to the Bulldags", "The Tragic End of Reddy the Fox", "A Day with the 'Wards'", "The Sporting Barber's Close Shave", "Jack Travail's First Love", "The Lady and the Tuna", "The Twilight of Racing", "Iroquo", "Westward", and "The Origin of the America's Cup". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting.
