There’s a Fox in the Spinney: Memories of Fox-Hunting, Racing, and Publishing by Stuart Rose is a lively mid-20th-century memoir that blends the traditions of the sporting world with behind-the-scenes glimpses of the publishing industry. First published in 1967, the book recounts Rose’s lifelong passion for fox-hunting and horse racing, offering colorful anecdotes of hunts, countryside life, and the social circles surrounding these pursuits. Interwoven with these sporting reminiscences are reflections on his career in publishing, including encounters with notable literary and cultural figures. The result is a warm, nostalgic portrait of a bygone era, appealing to readers interested in equestrian sport, rural traditions, and personal memoir. Some discoloration and a few chips and tears to the otherwise nice dust jacket. Minor rubbing, minimal discoloration, else in very good condition. Item #194
