British Game ranges beyond the strict legal interpretation of game and is full of interesting details about the birds and beasts that should interest sportsmen and naturalists alike. This edition is exclusive to newnaturalists.com.

Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald, editor of The Field, is a considerable naturalist in his own right. At every page the reader will discover his original observations and personal opinions, drawn from deep knowledge of both the scientific aspects of natural history and wide experience as a countryman, wildfowler, and Vice-President of the Gamekeepers Association—as well as, one suspects, a friend of gypsies and poachers.

All these credentials fit him perfectly to describe the natural history of British game and put it in proper perspective. His book examines the birds and mammals of the British countryside with an easy flow of information on a variety of topics, revealing fascinating details that sportsmen should know but all too frequently do not.
