About this ebook

A Man, His Magazine, the Adventures

"Hunting the Dream" is much more than the typical info-packed book artfully crafted by award-winning journalist and Hall of Fame archer, M. R. James. Much more, it’s a candid and reflective memoir spotlighting the storybook life, remarkable career, and unforgettable outdoor adventures of a man whose millions of published words have inspired and guided legions of loyal readers for half a century.

Narrated with trademark honesty, this new book blends doses of wry humor with heartfelt sorrow, true-to-life dialog, meaningful anecdotes, and vivid word paintings created by a master wordsmith. The end result is an eminently readable, entertaining, and enlightening work that will be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates a long and successful life’s story well-told.

With tantalizing titles such as “Country Girls and Cut Pigs,” “One Way to Kill a Wife,” “A Bear’s in My Tent,” Christy Looks Different with Her Clothes On,” and “A $20,000 Haircut,”
"Hunting the Dream"’s unfolding chapters trace a boy’s long journey from his small town roots to a grown man’s leadership role in helping millions successfully bridge the chasm between an ancient outdoor pastime and a challenging modern sport embraced by a growing 21st century army of archers and bowhunters.

Author

M.R. James

Montague Rhodes James was born in 1862 at Goodnestone Parsonage, Kent, where his father was a curate, but the family moved soon afterwards to Great Livermere in Suffolk. James attended Eton College and later King's College Cambridge where he won many awards and scholarships. From 1894 to 1908 he was Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and from 1905 to 1918 was Provost of King's College. In 1913, he became Vice-Chancellor of the University for two years. In 1918 he was installed as Provost of Eton. A distinguished medievalist and scholar of international status, James published many works on biblical and historical antiquarian subjects. He was awarded the Order of Merit in 1930. His ghost story writing began almost as a divertissement from his academic work and as a form of entertainment for his colleagues. His first collection, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary was published in 1904. He never married and died in 1936.
