Markham's second book ranges wider: managing woods, breeding cattle, the art of angling, and even the fighting cock. It is a country gentleman's whole world set down in one volume, from timber to table to sport. A vivid guide to rural life in early modern England. Everything the seventeenth-century landholder was expected to know.

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.
