About this ebook
Virginia's rarified, tradition-bound foxhunting society is threatened by a radical concept: The Church of Foxhunting. True believers sing (literally) the praises of the sporting life. A current of titillation flows among them, from teenagers to grandparents. The two meanings of "venery" (pursuits both sporting and erotic) happily blend into a single drive. But with the established hierarchy challenged, conflicts arise and tensions grow. An eclectic ensemble cast of characters, from the hunt's senior master to the trailer-dwelling tractor mechanic, must deal with the upheaval to their cloistered world. Entertaining, amusing, and thought-provoking, "The Prophet of Paradise" is a new direction in the field of horse sport literature, an excellent read for those who foxhunt, or who simply enjoy a well-told tale.
