From the dust jacket: "By any standard, the twenty-seven short stories in this collection are remarkable. They are first-rate fiction, with the elements of conflict, humor, and feeling and the well-developed plot and three-dimensional characters that distinguish good writing. Such fiction is fortunately not rare in the literature of hunting and fishing - but there has been almost no really fine writing about Bob Brister's part of the world: the Gulf Coast, from Louisiana's Mississippi Delta, along the Texas coastline, to the jungle-draped coast of Mexico. It is a wildly beautiful area, unbelievably rich in wildlife and in history, and the extraordinary way that Brister's fictional vignettes capture the truth of it -- its sights, sounds, smells -- will delight and move any reader.".

Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. First Edition. illustrated end-papers; foreword by Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park; contents list; a mixture of verse and prose about the Battle of Britain; this collection is largely based on the personal experiences of a boy who was fifteen years of age during the Battle. He saw much of the daylight fighting from either the saddle of a grocer's delivery tricycle in the streets of North London or garden shelters at the rear of countless homes in the Enfield district. The Messerschmitt 110 that crashed into the sewage farm at Ponders End is no myth. Along with the Junkers 86 mentioned in Â'ONE OF THE FEWÂ', the Dornier that crashed at Southbury Road and the Stuka that blew up at Epping, mentioned in Â'ONE OF THE MANYÂ', these incidents were eagerly visited by the writer on his beloved bike in accordance with the current teenage pastime of 1940. Only actual characters have been changed on occasions as the writer felt prudent in these attempts to portray most aspects of the momentous Battle he witnessed. He had no true grasp of its importance at the time , The same could be truthfully said of most of the adults around him. By September 1940, Douglas Bader, Stanford Tuck, Sailor Malan and countless other pilots, had become household words to the populace at large. To those of us who were either schoolboys, or just out of school, they were idols to which no modern pop star could even begin to compare.
