Book Description

Excerpt from The Complete Sportsman (Compiled From the Occasional Papers, of Reginald Drake Biffin) To the vast majority of my fellow countrymen - indeed, I think I may safely say of the Anglo-Saxon race - the name of Reginald Drake Biffin is no doubt by this time a familiar household word. To preface a volume of his writings with anything resembling a formal introduction may therefore be regarded not only as a work of supererogation but also as a piece of unpardonable editorial impertinence. It is, however, always possible (though admittedly unlikely) that there still exist in certain obscure out-of-the-way country districts one or two benighted beings who are unacquainted with the literary masterpieces of this remarkable man. To these, if such there be, it may perhaps be advisable to address a word or two of explanation and apology.
