Suitable for gift giving and marvelous company by the fireside for the actual or armchair sportsman. Contents includes: Index to Authors, Index of Sources, Index. Illustrated throughout with black & white drawings. "Fox-hunting shows me the countryside. It shows me the dawn gently unwrapping the mist-enshrouded corn-stocks on Ramshorn Down; it shows me the flash of the king-fisher between the gorse-covered banks of the Clodiagh, and "Paddy the Bobber" poaching salmon on the lovely Suir; it shows me the hop-pickers at work at Suckley and the old-year lambs at Jevington; it shows me the stone tramway along which London Bridge once was carried across the heart of Dartmoor, and the ten plough teams at work near. Tawsmead; it shows me the wild white cattle of Chillingham, and the sweet-breathed, unruffled, dairy cows of the Dauntsey Vale. Always it shows me the country, the country ways and the country men. And those are all, to me, as vital parts of fox-hunting as the fox, the hound, or the horse. The other half-foundation of my fox-hunting shrine is the foxhound. Analysing my affection for him I find that it is based upon the sum of virtues which we look for but so seldom find in our fellow-mortals, and upon the absence of vices which so mar our fellow-mortals (but of which we, of course, are wholly deficient). "Faith, Hope, and Charity"; Gentleness and Courage; Dignity and Manners; Loyalty and Public Spirit; Intelligence; Honesty-the foxhound has them all. Our books are cleaned and dust wrappers placed in new mylar whenever possible.

Brown, Paul Paul Brown Calendar 1945. Signed, Limited, Numbered 290 of 1000 Copies
Brooks Brothers 1945 First Edition Hardcover Very Good No Jacket Book Folio - over 12" - 15" tall Illustrated Signed by Artist
Exceedingly rare art calendar published by Brooks Brothers. Signed by Paul Brown. Number 290 of 1000 copies. All art is in black and white painted drawings without captions but each is signed by Brown (part of each print, not individually done as the limitation page is. This is an easel style item with five red plastic rings at top and red ribbon ties at bottom frayed and discolored but uneven & present, All twelve months present, occasional light marginal soil, mostly very clean and tidy. Jan & Feb detached & laid in, others ok. A fragile item and is better enjoyed laying flat than standing up as that is how Jan & Feb came loose. Paper is brittle and fragile in the red plastic bands. Remains more than suitable for gift giving or your own special spot in the sporting library. Moderately bowed cover has a jolly hefty man holding a long horn in one hand and a tankard in the other. Jan features a sleighing scene with a single horse trotting along at a good clip pulling two folks in an open sleigh. Feb is an ice hockey scene. In March we enjoy the spring steeplechases as several athletes take a brush jump. April is a gentleman enjoying some fishing. May is flat racing with a pack of thoroughbreds coming round a bend near the rail. June is a couple of chaps playing doubles tennis, one is leaping for the hit. July is a great golf scene as two chaps look to the left and if you aren't careful, you'll miss the guy who is up to his neck in a brook trying to fish out his ball behind them. August shows a western scene as a cowhand attempts to break a youngster who is on his rear legs, September is football time as a player goes airborne over a pile of teammates as the ref runs over to get a closer look at the results. October is Cub (fox) Hunting Scene as a rider on a dark horse takes a stiff 5 panel coupe with a rider on the top. November is bird hunting month as three chaps watch some winged prospects overhead in V formation heading south. December is a frisky four-in-hand pulling a stagecoach down main street with the near grey having a rollicking time on his hind legs. Our books are cleaned and mylar changed on dust wrappers whenever possible.

Unpaginated text. 78 pp. Born to a coal mining pony and sold at a horse fair when he was a weanling to some gypsies. Over the years Patchwork was sold or traded many times. At last, after he had walked over most of England, he fell into the kind hands of the gypsy king. The king had a traveling troupe of trained bears, dogs, goats, pigs and ponies. He taught Patchwork many tricks so he could earn his keep and amuse the crowds at the race courses where the gypsies gave most of their shows. On day, at a great race meeting, an American saw the pony and decided that Patchwork was the perfect pony for his son Piper Perkins, and Mr. Perkins can use him in his own circus act, so he bought the shaggy pony from the gypsy king and shipped him across the ocean. His trip across the pond was an adventure in itself, upon landing he was so happy to find himself once more on dry land he bucked and kicked for joy. Mr. Perkins led Patchwork to his car. The pony was so small that he could easily stand in the back part of the automobile. It was fine to ride in this way, a lot faster and not so much work as tramping over the countryside behind a wagon. After a long ride, they came to Three Ring Farm where he met his new stablemates, Oscar the donkey and Crazy Quilt the circus pony rubbed noses with the newcomer and the dogs, Mick a Scottish Deerhound and Mac a Scottish Terrier barked a welcome. Patchwork's exploits with young Piper Perkins include fox hunting, pulling children on a frozen pond, circus acts, tricks and so much more. This title is one of Paul Brown's most sought books and is loaded with his fabulous b/w line art throughout. Our books are cleaned and dust wrappers placed in new mylar whenever possible.
