Summary: Spiller is in a class by himself
Review: This is, perhaps, the most entertaining of all Spiller's works. The review from the gentlemen from Pennsylvania is unfathomable. This guy must not understand the sport of grouse hunting at all. To describe a man like Burton Spiller as arrogant and boring is like saying Lawrence Oliver is a poor actor.
Burton Spiller was a man with limited education, but whose prose has an effortless sublime quality which demonstates his place as one of the finest outdoor writers. If a gifted writer makes you feel and share the experience he writes of, then Burt truely had the gift. He was a man who loved grouse, bird dogs, his family, his life, and God, and compelled his readers to love and respect him. To not appreciate the best work of Burton Spiller (the most talented of grouse hunting authors) is to not love grouse hunting.
