Description: MEMORY LOOKS FORWARD An Autobiography ERIC PARKER SEELEY, SERVICE & CO. [1937] 1st edition. 23 x 14 cm. 368 pp + b/w photo plates. HB/DJ TO the countless thousands, Eric Parker's name has meant birds and the charm of birds and gardens; to the sportsman he has been for many years the distinguished Editor-in-chief of "The Field" and of the Lonsdale Library. His numerous books of sport and wild life have beguiled and instructed a generation of shooting men, anglers and country lovers. For all of these he has recaptured the delights and the difficulties of an unusually full and, in some ways, characteristically English life. Many men, some famous, some half-forgotten, throng the years of his recollections of journalism and authorship. Here the sportsman will find good fishing in smooth waters and rough and green memories of dogs and gamekeepers and high pheasants. In contrast with the autumn thrill of grouse swinging over the butts on a Scottish moorside the author can charm into his pages the scent of phlox in a Surrey garden or the intriguing vision of a squirrel seated on his study desk.
