Old Sports and Sportsmen; or, the Willey Country
John Randall
John Randall digs into the old forests of Shropshire, from Morfe and Shirlot to the royal chase of the Wrekin, tracing the sports, squires and foresters of the Willey country. History, folklore and field pursuits braid together across the centuries. A deep look at one green corner of England. Ride the ancient hunting grounds with a local chronicler.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
