Founded in 1927 by Princeton University graduate Eugene V. Connett III, The Derrydale Press published several series of outdoor books for North American audiences during the first half of the 20th century. It was the only publishing house in the world devoted exclusively to sporting books. Forester's My Shooting Box contains fifteen stories of the hunt, including: English and American Game, Cock Shooting, The Elms, A Pic Nic, and Won in a Canter.
