Ambler, C. Gifford. Maxims of Marquis. First Edition. 1937. Book and dust jacket are both in very good minus condition.
In this charming, clever book an elder foxhound teaches a litter of pups the rules for their sport and for sensible living. Each maxim is accompanied by two-pages of illustration featuring hound pups interacting with hound masters, horses, foxes, or each other. The drawings are marvelous, as is the production quality of the book itself.
“Once you enter into [a foxhound puppy’s] service there is no turning aside, you must serve him to the end, the most aggravating, the most fascinating, the most adorable of God’s creatures.”
--C.N. de Courcy-Parry
