The Boys' Book of Sports and Outdoor Life Maurice Thompson

Originally published in 1886. This well illustrated book contains a wealth of material and instruction enabling young people of all ages to enjoy outdoor life and sport to the full. Contents include: Marvin and his Boy Hunters - Safety and the Shotgun - Hints on Trap Shooting - Fishing - The Bow and its Use - Archery - Boats and Boating - How to Build Boats - Camps and Camping - Swimming and Rambling - Winter Sports - Hunting Rabbits - Outdoor Sketches and Observations etc. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
