The Hunting Gene

Published in 2000 and reprinted three times.

The book that landed Robin is so much hot water. As a non-hunter Robin examines hunting in Britain shortly before the ban. It describes hunting in its context – as part of the traditions and culture of country life. People, landscapes and wildlife are shown in words and stunning colour photographs, many of them taken by Nigel Housden.

Robin Hanbury-Tenison, writer, explorer and conservationist writes: “Robin Page demonstrates again and again in this splendid book the real ways we should relate to nature. Anyone who reads it with an open mind cannot fail to be persuaded of the inescapable truth: hunting with hounds is a good and noble activity, which benefits both the prey and the rest of nature”
