註釋Few people hunting today are really aware of the history of their sport. Most accounts of the subject tend to be somewhat dry and academic. So, in an easy and entertaining manner, here is a concise version of how this much-misunderstood sport has survived and flourished through centuries of change, to the benefit of the fox and its environment.

* Concise chapters gallop through the history of hunting from 1066 to the present day, interspersed with snippets of hunting verse and song
* Index of foxhunting packs in the UK and US
* Specially-commissioned line illustrations of hunting scenes by Alistair Jackson
