About the book

Hillingdon Hall by R. Surtees is a humorous sporting novel set in the world of nineteenth-century English country life. The story follows the fortunes of its characters through hunting, social visits, romantic complications and the endless manoeuvring of provincial society. Surtees combines lively descriptions of horses and field sports with sharp observations of class, wealth and social pretension. His eccentric characters and comic dialogue make the novel both an entertaining sporting tale and a satirical portrait of Victorian manners.
