Biografisk notat
Adrian Dangar has travelled extensively throughout Africa, South America and Asia on numerous writing and travel assignments, and is a regular contributor to Country Life, The Field Magazine and Horse & Hound. His first book, True to the Line (9781846892448), was published by Quiller in 2017. Adrian lives in rural North Yorkshire with his wife and family and enjoys fieldsports, travelling and the countryside.Over 26 chapters, each introduced by a charming Daniel Crane line drawing, Dangar relives his remarkable hunting career. It takes erudition to transfer the intangible nature of a hunting day onto the page but this <i>Field</i> contributor manages it with aplomb. For those who have ridden to hounds, this book will be a joy to read. It is a paen hounds and venery and one that should grace every foxunter's library.
The Field
Written in an engaging and illuminating style, the author writes beautifully while not shying away from contentious issues and controversial characters.
