Guy Paget was an aristocrat and for a short while a member of parliament. He held a regular commission in the Scots Guards but served with the Northamptonshire Regiment in the Great War. As a member of the Landed Gentry he held a number of positions as Justice and later High Sheriff of Leicestershire. In the years between the wars he was adding to the notable collection of sporting pictures which he had inherited, became a considerable authority upon them, and wielded a busy and versatile pen. His published works included hunting reminiscences and biographies, county history, war books, and three historical novels about the Yorkist princes of the fifteenth century. Sadly he died in a hunting accident at the age of 65 in 1952. A nice text copy of the first edition in this collectable series but with spine wear and without dust jacket.*
