Grey Goose

Geoffrey Bles 1939 235, col frontis, 16 b/w plates, text illus. . HB. 8vo, orig. cloth, gt. Vg in d/w (minor edge wear; in removable protective sleeve).. First edition. Scarce in a well-preserved dust jacket. Frontispiece and text illustrations by Peter Scott. Reminiscences of Norfolk punt-gunning. 'Grey Goose is the name of the punt in which Mr Bratby discovered the difficult and exciting sport of goose and duck shooting. In this book he gives much useful information about the sport and tells of his own experiences in Norfolk and the Wash, in Westmorland and elsewhere. He discusses each species of wildfowl to be found in the country in large and in detail. Yet this is no treatise on ornithology. It is the highly diverting account of a modern Colonel Hawker's adventures'.
