4.0 out of 5 stars
An absorbing look at the contemporary world of fox hunting,
By Rivercat "rivercat0338" (San Ramon, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fox In the Cupboard: A Memoir (Hardcover)
As an American horse-mad child I consumed all the Pullein-Thompson and "Jill" pony books I could get my hands on, but the culture of riding to hounds, with its arcane language and fastidious customs, remained opaque and perplexing. Jane Shilling is an outsider herself, bringing the reader along on her journey as a middle-aged single mother attempting to learn to ride and join a hunt. While the politics of hox hunting cannot be avoided, Shilling wisely does not make them the center of her story, but rather lays out the situation as she observes it and ultimately lets the reader decide for herself.
