| In his foreword to Jack Kersley s invaluablebook, F. Kenneth Atkinson writes, There is noreason why any sportsman, after following hismethods, so simply described and easy tofollow, should not have a steady and reliableretriever. Here, indeed, is an illustrated manualto answer the need of anyone seeking firm andoriginal guide-lines on tile subject, from earlyprinciples to advanced training.Mr Kersley is a consultant surgeon, and thededication and concentration notable in hisprofession are apparent in h~s book, a productof steady experience and observation in hismature years. Above all it is soundly based ona deep understanding of canine nature. Fromthis foundation, and with refreshing naturalnessand humour, the author builds a logical andoriginal course of management and training.Finally there is much useful information andadvice on early shots, working tests, fieldtrials, and on judges and judging, with appropri-ate appendices. Mr Kersley e method is whollyconvincing and has~ instant practical appeal.The many sketches by James Croft and photo-graphs by Arthur Robinson complement thetext in a remarkable way. |
