It’s a well-regarded and undisputed classic—an edgy, elegant examination of the habits and history of a reclusive gamebird, the Woodcock, native to Europe and North America, a bird that’s been hunted and celebrated since Roman times. Valdène writes exuberantly of the bird, the hunt, and the feast, gracefully balancing the obsessions of a naturalist, sportsman, and gourmand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47304498905343,"sku":"9781493089284","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_58b5d1ab-1358-4175-a26e-e1a0bd580787.jpg?v=1762971645","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781493089284","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
