Book excerpt: This book, second in the continuing Images series, features the vibrant, original essays of author Ed Gray and the work of a famed American artist -- in this case, the incomparable Robert Abbett. Join the two on a trek of the autumn uplands, from golden ranges and croplands teeming with pheasants and sharptails to the hallowed, sun-dappled coverts of grouse. -- The oversized format and exacting reproduction provide a delightful showcase for Mr. Abbett's magnificent renderings of sporting dogs, upland game birds and autumn landscapes. This treasured volume is a faithful visual and verbal portrayal of the American sporting tradition as we know it at the close of the 20th century. -- While his choice of subject is wide-ranging, Robert K. Abbett is best known for his work in sporting art and associated rural scenes. He is a member of Who's Who in American Art and The Society of Animal Artists and has won numerous conservation stamp/print competitions. He and his wife, Marilyn, split their time between their Connecticut farm and a studio in Arizona.
