Comments and Reviews

Bill Steinkraus, President Emeritus, U. S. Equestrian Team:

"You quickly realize that here is a thoughtful and widely experienced sportsman who both knows his stuff and surely knows how to tell a story. Henry can be funny and he can be serious, sometimes at the same time, and there is a lot to be learned from his account of the more memorable episodes of his sporting life. Reading Henry's book is like nothing so much as sitting down with an old friend and listening to him spin yarns. It is truly a sportsman's delight."

C. Martin Wood, III, jt. MFH Live Oak Hounds; past President of the MFHA
Daphne Flowers Wood, jt. MFH Live OakHounds; 1st V. P. of the MFHA:

"What makes this book fascinating and unique is its marvelous blend of expertise about Masters of Foxhounds Association of American packs and 'night hunter/field trial' hounds. Included are delicious memoirs of the mid twentieth century and onward. Add to that side-splitting stories laced with valuable knowledge about hunting, shooting, fishing, racing, and generally 'raising hell' in a mostly genteel manner, and you have a book that should be on every true sportsman's shelf."

Ed Bacon, President Georgia State Foxhunters Association; President All American Running Hound Classic:

"When I received the draft of Fox, Fin and Feather: Tales from the Field, I opened the box and began to read. It ws two hours later and getting dark outside before I put it down. All hunters, whether of fox, feather, or fin, can relate to every word."

Betsy Parker, award winning photo journalist; Horse and Field Sports Editor at the "Times Community Newspapers":

"Hooker's Fox is a must-have for the library of any sportsman, whether interested in foxhunting, bird shooting, fishing, or true tales of deep friendship. Readers will find neatly interwoven stories of a life dedicated to preservation and conservation. Fox will be a welcome addition to the shelves of everybody interested in the rural pastimes of our time and before."

Tommy Lee Jones, Huntsman, Casanova Hunt:

"History, humor, and Hooker: an entertaining and enjoyable trio."

Dennis Foster, Executive Director, MFHA:

"Henry Hooker is well known as a gifted sportsman and master of hounds. He can tell a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat or on the floor laughing. Henry's book does both. It is a masterly collection of true stories and experiences associated with foxhunting and other pursuits that will entertain and educate you. It also intertwines a fascinating, accurate history of traditions, culture, hounds, and hunting in the mid-South. Once you start, you won't want to put it down."
