The Master of Game by Edward Of Norwich

The Master of Game by Edward Of Norwich

This first paperback edition ever of the oldest English book on hunting includes a hearty introduction by Theodore Roosevelt.

"Of exceptional interest for the light shed on the ethos, style, and tastes of the secular aristocracy of the later Middle Ages. . . A real boon to the historian. . . . For those of us who still admire and cherish the huntsman's now threatened world, The Master of Game has a particular appeal." * London Review of Books *

Edward of Norwich, Second Duke of York (1373?-1415) was cousin of King Richard II and became a supporter of the House of Lancaster in 1399. He was killed at the Battle of Agincourt. William A. Baillie-Grohman (1851-1921) was an outdoor writer, adventurer, and explorer who spent much of his life developing business interests in British Columbia, Canada. Florence Nickalls Baillie-Grohman was often his collaborator. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), the twenty-sixth President of the United States, was an avid outdoorsman and wrote extensively about the wilderness and big-game hunting.
