This book presents an insightful and entertaining glimpse into the lives of various figures in the fox hunting community through the lens of the author, an avid sportsman, and keen observer of human nature. As a historical snapshot, the book captures a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when fox hunting was a popular and well-established pastime. The author's presence in the sporting community grants him access to a colorful cast of characters, including flamboyant equestrian Lord Daisyeld and the sharp-witted huntsman Tom Tootler.

Each sketch is a miniature masterpiece, providing insights into the characters' foibles, passions, and motivations, forming a fascinating portrait of the hunting set as a whole.
