Memoirs Of A Fox-hunting Man (Folio Society Edition) Siegfried Sassoon

Siegfried Sassoon’s semi-autobiographical novel introduces George Sherston, a shy youth navigating the idyllic, fox-hunting world of pre-WWI Edwardian England. Through charming anecdotes of rural life, cricket matches, and equestrian pursuits, Sassoon crafts a poignant portrait of a vanishing era. This nostalgic account, rich in gentle humor, subtly foreshadows the inevitable loss of innocence as the Great War looms, irrevocably altering Sherston’s carefree existence and the English countryside he cherishes.
