In Red Letter Days, Rory Knight Bruce has not just written a book about hunting in Britain today but has taken his personal odyssey into the heart and soul of the countryside and its people. Conceived at the Berkeley Hunt kennels and brought up by his father's kennel huntsman after his mother left home, it counld be said that the author was bred to hunting. That he has also immersed himself in a life of writing makes him uniquely placed to tell the stories in this book, acutely observed but with real care and feeling for both hunting and the countryside. Red Letter Days is not the journey of a die-harad huntsman but more a voyage in the traditions of Cobbett and Kilvert. AUTHOR: Rory Knight Bruce made his name as a journalist both at The Spectator and as editor of the Evening Standard's Londoners' Diary. Since the early 1990s he has been a frequent hunting correspondent for Horse Hound and he writes regularly for the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, The Spectator, Country Life and contributes a monthly column 'Mad, Bad and Dangerous' to The Field. He has been master of three packs - the United (Wales), the Tedworth (Wiltshire) and Torrington Farmers' (Devon). He lives in Devon. 30 line drawings
