There can be no one who so brilliantly, and hilariously captures the flavour of the sport and its people.' -- Mike Barnes, Editor * The Shooting Gazette * 'This re-issue of Mad Dogs and Englishmen is a delightful collection of Parry's cartoons focused on shooting and canine companions. It offers a humorous yet poignant insight into a world that transcends mere sport, revealing a rural lifestyle cherished by those who live it.' * Country Squire Magazine, October 2024 * 'Bryn was one of Britain's best-known countryside cartoonists and this superb collection makes a perfect gift.' * Countryside Magazine, December 2024 *More details

Person
Bryn Parry CBE (1956-2023) was one of Britain's best-known countryside cartoonists. Bryn was the naughty schoolboy doodling in the margins of his textbooks. He drew cartoons while serving in the army and finally decided to turn his hobby into a living. His work will be instantly familiar to anyone with a passion for the countryside, shooting and badly behaved dogs. His cartoons appeared in country magazines and he illustrated countless products with his witty, detailed and perceptive pictures. Bryn's bestsellers are Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Shooting Types, Horses for Courses, Sex in the Country, 101 Shooting Excuses and, with his wife Emma, Home on the Range. In 2007, Bryn and Emma successfully established the Help for Heroes foundation.
