A collection of shooting and dog cartoons that affords insight into a world that can only really be understood by the participants, for whom it is more than a sport; it is a way of life.
Country Cartoonist Bryn Parry has galloped from the shooting field into the equestrian world with his latest book, Horses for Courses. This wonderful collection of detailed cartoons looks at riding from Bryn's unique point of view. Dressage horses flutter their eyelashes as they pirouette in ballet shoes; foxes dig pits to ambush the Huntsman and jockeys are flung through the air as they pull the ripcord to their parachutes. The book is punctuated with twenty 'Horse Types' written by Giles Catchpole which are both wicked and brilliantly observed and everyone will recognise someone they know. This book is dedicated to the great Norman Thelwell.

Lazy Labradors, springing Springers, terrible Terriers, permed Poodles, working dogs, lapdogs, hang-dogs and even sausage dogs! All these and more fill cartoonist Bryn's latest book. Bryn's first book was Mad Dogs and Englishmen. This time, it's all about the dogs; no humans to get in the way of a dog's life! Bryn can't imagine drawing without a dog at his feet or, more likely, sneaking onto the sofa. Whether it's barking at the postman, chewing on the TV remote, poking around in the bin for a tasty morsel or just letting off foul smells, Bryn's dogs are real. He's owned pedigrees and mutts, he's even tried to train them with limited success. They are obstinate, disobedient and embarrassing but they are family and much loved. This book of canine cartoons is the dog's doodahs and makes the perfect present for anyone who is similarly dog mad.
Oops, missed again! Now you have an excuse, or 101 to be exact... This little book is the answer for any shot that misses from time to time and an explanation is needed, The bird swerved, I'm stiff from too much shooting, I'm missing intentionally to make them fly higher, these are just a few of the examples that could just save you! Bryn's wonderful cartoons illustrate his excuses perfectly and make this book the essential gift for every shooter. At 6 inches square it's also the perfect size to keep in the pocket. So, if you miss, whip it out and select the perfect phrase...it could even be Sorry, I was reading 101 Shooting Excuses and didn't see that.
At last, the most useful gift and piece of kit for every shooting enthusiast. This sturdy hardcover book is designed to fit in any shooting jacket and is invaluable to record the names of Guns, the weather conditions and not least of all, the bag. Including shooting seasons, weights and over forty double-page entries this book will be used again and again to record and recall every type of shooting day from driven game to roughshooting and waterfowling.
Bryn Parry, sporting cartoonist, wanted a journal that he could keep a tally of game shot but also write notes, memories of the day, stick in game cards and even the occasional photograph. This work is a combination of Bryn's cartoons and craftsmanship, and is aimed at the sportsman or woman.
