PRESS REVIEWS 



" Mr Abel Chapman's books are good from every standpoint. He is a 

 sportsman who knows how to observe, and how to tell what he sees. He is 

 a Big-Game hunter of renown ; and on every hunt he watches with keen 

 interest all the smaller life of the wilderness. He can both write and draw. 

 There is not one of his books, whether dealing with the land-birds and 

 wild-fowl of Northumberland, with wild N-orway or wilder Spain, or with 

 the giant fauna of Equatorial Africa which a man Avho cares for natural 

 historj'^, shooting, or hunting, can afford to be without. , . . We know 

 exactly how the rhinoceros looked and how he acted ; we see the hartebeest 

 overcome with pride as he leads the thirsty files of wildebeests down to the 

 water. . . . Moreover, with pen and pencil he brings before us pictures 

 of many of those striking birds that delight the eyes of the African hunter." 

 — Theodore Roosevelt. 



" Mr Chapman stands in the front rank of those who have studied and 

 pursued wild creatures in their native haunts at home or abroad. In this 

 pioneer attempt to describe the Sudan from the point of view of the hunter- 

 naturalist, he is completing a tale of fifty-four overseas ventures carried out 

 during half a century, 1 869-192 1. His illustrations are very copious and of 

 excellent quality." — Times Literary Supplement. 



" Mr Chapman is one of the very best hunter-naturalists, and he tells of the 

 habits of all the wild life which he encountered as he himself observed them.. 

 The more faithful a story is to nature the more interesting it becomes, and 

 the more valuable the lessons which may be learnt. All Mr Chapman's 

 little stories — and he has many a charming little anecdote told in his 

 delightful way— are wholly faithful to nature. There cannot be a moment's 

 doubt on that point. Consequently this is a book v/hich one may read 

 many times, and each time learn something new. 



" The author's many sketches of animal and bird life add to the charm 

 of this delightful record of careful obsers'ations, and the book will live as 

 one of the outstanding classics among sporting literature." — The Field.
