(Paperback, 2007). (1897) 2007 paperback facsimile edition. 8vo (134 x 210mm). Ppxiv,358,18pp ads. B/w plates & text illustrations by the author, Charles Whymper and P. Ch. Trench, and from photographs. Good clean solidly intact second-hand paperback. A facsimile paperback edition of the 1897 classic. With a chapter on Spitsbergen by Arnold Pike. Hunter, traveller, artist, observer and protector of wildlife, Abel Chapman (1851-1929) initiated the Sabi Game-Reserve in South Africa (now the Kruger National Park), saved the Spanish ibex from extinction, discovered the main breeding place of flamingoes in Europe and elucidated the burrowing habits of grouse in snow. Houxty, his Northumbrian home for many years, became a natural sanctuary for all kinds of wild things, and a focal point for naturalists. Some of his best ornithological work was done in Northumberland and his first book, "Bird-Life of the Borders", has been described as a classic of observation and field-work. Wild Norway is largely about reindeer and grouse shooting but about one third of the book is about salmon fishing and there are two chapters on trout fishing. .
