Never out of print since its original publication in 1928, when it won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, Sassoon's reminiscences about childhood and the beginning of World War I are channeled through young George Sherston, whose life of local cricket tournaments and fox-hunts falls apart as war approaches and he joins up to fight. Sassoon's first novel, though rife with comic characters and a jaunty sense of storytelling, presents his own loss of innocence and the destruction of the country he knew and loved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL-8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hasberts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53071474491704,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0291\/9192\/9890\/files\/a291_23d30175-d64b-45c9-b74d-a7bc95821c4a.jpg?v=1790974664","url":"https:\/\/hasberts.com\/products\/memoirs-of-a-fox-hunting-man","provider":"Hasberts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
