ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1956). 1956 1st edition. 8vo (155 x 220mm). Ppxii,84. B/w photographs. Brown cloth, spine titled in gilt. Foxing and browning, bookplate, good-plus. Lacks dust-wrapper. "A Partridge Year is the result of a friendship between two people whose interest in the bird are in some respects dissimilar. Esmond Lynn-Allen and A.W.P. Robertson first discussed the possibility of a joint book on the partridge six years ago, and began work immediately.

Thus began for both of them a period of intensive checking and study, and by the beginning of 1956 the book was finished. It is, as they explain in the foreword, 'neither a comprehensive monograph nor a scientific study', but a week-to-week account of how a partridge spends its life; of its feeding methods in hard weather, of the break-up of coveys into pairs; of its courtship and nesting, and of the fascinating behaviour of the hatch.
