THE GLORIOUS MORNINGS

by Paul Hyde Bonner ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 15, 1954

A collection of affable shorter pieces record the sporting satisfaction- and exhilaration- of hunting and fishing, and vary the scene if not the subject from upstate New York to Scotland and Ireland- and even Italy... A boy yields to the temptation to wipe his old man's eye and kills his first woodchuck- but ruins his father's gun; Bull Street, on a fishing weekend, finds that a girl can land a trout as well as he can- but that he can not the girl; an old nimrod finds that in England a gun must be made to measure; Mollie, a mule, becomes too good for the plow and prefers to point birds; a boy's hatred of his father- and boredom with his hunting talk- is forgotten in the excitement of his first shoot; etc. etc.,- these and others have a pleasant open quality and provide some even-tempered entertainment for fellow fanciers.
