    About this ebook

    This vintage book contains a novel written by George F. Underhill and was first published in 1893. A charming tale of an aspiring huntsman in nineteenth-century England, "In and Out of the Pig-Skin" will appeal to those with an interest in the history of the sport in England. Contents include: "I Determine to be a Sportsman", "I Buy my Hunters", "My First Day with Hounds", "I Rapidly Progress", "Laviana's Go-cart", "The Hunt Ball", "A Coffee-house Meet", "I go to Fleet Street", "The Brightemall Steeplechase", and "Wedding Bells". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fox hunting.
