Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Tom Brown has always been fascinated by lions. When he receives a letter from his father informing him that a pair of officers of the Cape Rifles and a hunter named Hicks are planning a hunting trip to South Africa and need a final man, Tom doesn’t need any persuading to join them. Very much of its time, ‘Hunting the Lions’ by R.M. Ballantyne is nonetheless a fascinating insight into the very different attitude towards hunting at the time, and a wonderful account of the wildlife of South Africa. R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish artist and prolific author of mostly children’s fiction. Born in Edinburgh, Ballantyne was the ninth of ten children. At the age of 16 Ballantyne moved to Canada, where he worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, travelling all over the country to trade for fur. He returned to Scotland in 1847 following the death of his father, and it was then that he began his literary career in earnest, writing over 100 children’s adventure books over the course of his life. Stories such as ‘The Coral Island’ and ‘The Young Fur Traders’ were hugely popular, and many of them drew on his own experiences of travelling throughout Canada. A stickler for detail, Ballantyne continued to travel widely to research the backgrounds and settings for his exciting stories. His tales became an inspiration for authors of the future, including ‘Treasure Island’ novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. Ballantyne spent the latter period of his life living in London and Italy for the sake of his health. He died in Rome in 1894 at the age of 68.

Book excerpt: Book Excerpt: sting. The country through which they passed was extremely beautiful, particularly in the eyes of our hero, for whom the magnificence of tropical vegetation never lost its charms. The three sportsmen had that morning left their baggage, in a wagon drawn by oxen, in charge of Hicks the trader, who had agreed to allow them to accompany him on a trading expedition, and to serve them in the capacity of guide and general servant. They had made a detour through the forest with a party of six natives, under the guidance of a Caffre servant named Mafuta, and were well repaid for the time thus spent, by the immense variety of insects and plants which the naturalists found everywhere. But that which delighted them most was the animal life with which the whole region teemed. They saw immense herds of wolves, deer of various kinds, hyenas, elands, buffalo, and many other wild beasts, besides innumerable flocks of water-fowl of all kinds. But they passed these unmolested, having set their hearts that day on securin Read More

Book excerpt: We trust, good reader, that it will not cause you a feeling of disappointment to be told that the name of our hero is Brown--Tom Brown. It is important at the beginning of any matter that those concerned should clearly understand their position, therefore we have thought fit, even at the risk of throwing a wet blanket over you, to commence this tale on one of the most romantic of subjects by stating--and now repeating that our hero was a member of the large and (supposed to be) unromantic family of "the Browns."
Download or read book Lion Tales II written by Jonathon Kibler and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My first book, Lion Tales, is a collection of stories and facts concerning mountain lions and bare-ground lion hunting, experiences, and knowledge acquired over a lifetime of hunting. Lion Tales II is a collection of true life stories; the trials and tribulations of how I learned the art of hunting and training hunting hounds. It all culminated in my becoming a professional hunter and guide. The book begins with the purchase of my first puppy at age fourteen and ends once I mastered the art of hound hunting. There is a twelve-year gap between where Lion Tales II ends and Lion Tales begins. Perhaps one day I will write another book that fills that twelve-year gap. HAPPY HUNTING.
