About the book

Hawbuck Grange by R. Surtees is a comic sporting novel set among the hunting society of nineteenth-century England. Like Surtees's other sporting works, it is populated by larger-than-life characters whose enthusiasm for horses, hunting and social advancement frequently leads to comic situations. Beneath the sporting adventure lies a sharp satire of class, manners and pretension. Surtees combines lively dialogue, colourful characterisation and detailed descriptions of country life to create an entertaining portrait of Victorian sporting society.
