Hunting's Best Short Stories (Sporting's Best Short Stories series)

The drama danger and energy of the hunt are unsurpassed as inspiration for short-story writers many of whom have been fine hunters themselves. This collection spans the full range of the 20th century and boasts many prize-winning authors and stories including Wallace Stegner&;s &;The Blue-Winged Teal&; Thomas McGuane&;s &;Sportsmen&; and Lawrence Sargent Hall&;s &;The Ledge&; as well as Ernest Hemingway&;s &;The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber&; and riveting selections by David Quammen Rick Bass and E. Annie Proulx. A lighter side of the sport is provided in Irvin S. Cobb&;s &;The Plural of Moose Is Mise&; while T. Coraghessan Boyle&;s &;Big Game&; plays wickedly on the Hemingway classic.
