Handley Cross: or, Mr.Jorrocks's Hunt

Contemporary

Written in 1845, this satire follows the lovable cockney grocer Jorrocks, and takes a stab at the upper-class fox hunting gentry of the day.

Hillingdon Hall and the Cockney Squire

Robert Smith Surtees (1803-1864) was an English editor, novelist and sporting writer. Educated to be a solicitor, Surtees soon began to contribute to the Sporting Magazine, and in 1831 he published a treatise on the law relating to horses and particularly the law of warranty, entitled The Horseman's Manual. In the following year he helped to found the New Sporting Magazine. To this periodical he contributed between 1832 and 1834 the papers which were afterwards collected and published as Jorrocks's Jaunts and Jollities. This humorous narrative of the sporting experiences of a cockney grocer, which suggested the more famous Pickwick Papers of Charles Dickens, is the work by which Surtees is chiefly remembered, though his novel Handley Cross, published in 1843, in which the character of "Jorrocks" is reintroduced as a master of fox-hounds, also enjoyed a wide popularity. The later novels by Surtees included Hillingdon Hall (1845), in which "Jorrocks" again appears, Hawbuck Grange (1847), Mr Sponge's Sporting Tour (1853), Ask Mamma (1858), Plain or Ringlets (1860) and Mr Facey Romford's Hounds (1865). The last of these novels appeared after the author's death

Humor & Satire

Dodo Pr

Originally published in 1853, this is Surtees' great comedic hunting novel. Delightfully illustrated throughout with pen-and-ink sketches, it follows the misadventures of the ghastly Mr Sponge in the hunting field. Still very amusing after all this time, there are many 'hunting types' described that are easily recogniseable today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
