Reynard the Fox (Classic Reprint)

Reynard the Fox (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from Reynard the Fox
What are the English games? The man's game is Association football; the woman's game, perhaps, hockey or lacrosse. Golf I regard more as a symptom of a happy marriage than a game. Cricket, which was once widely popular among both sexes has lost its hold, except among the young.

The worst of all these games is that few can play them at a time.
But in the English country, during the autumn, Winter and early spring of each year, the main sport is fox hunting, which is not like cricket or football, a game for a few and a spectacle for many, but something in which all who come may take a part, whether rich or poor, mounted or on foot.

It is a sport loved and followed by both sexes, all ages and all classes. At a fox hunt.
