Hunting literature had its beginnings as early as the fourteenth century, when nobles hunted stag, bear, fox, and other game on horseback. As foxhunting grew in popularity, literary works that covered the sport flourished, as well. In Six Centuries of Foxhunting: An Annotated Bibliography, M. L. Biscotti has compiled all books produced in Great Britain and the United States that pertain to, or mention, foxhunting with hounds. Arranged alphabetically by author, more than 2000 titles are included. Each entry features details such as place and year of publication, publisher, book size, page count, illustrations, and binding. Nearly every title is also annotated with a description of the book’s contents, and biographical sketches are provided for the most notable authors. Narratives, histories, illustrated works, verse, fiction, and even anti-hunting literature all have their place in this volume. Six Centuries of Foxhunting also features more than thirty images of book covers and foxhunting illustrations. With appendixes that contain author, title, and illustrator time lines, and separate author and title indexes, this comprehensive bibliography is a valuable resource for researchers, book dealers and collectors, and foxhunters.

From his first time riding as a child, Shatner has felt a deep love for horses. He shares his joy-- with children, veterans, those with disabilities, and many more-- through the annual Hollywood Charity Horse Show. Here, he speaks from the heart about the effect horses have had on his life and on the lives of others. The anecdotes are paired with classic horse stories, including retellings of the Pegasus myth and the feats of the most famous war horses throughout history. Celebrate the connection between humans and horses-- and the power, courage, mindfulness, and healing that they can inspire in us.
