| Summary | "Market Harborough and Inside the Bar" by G. J. Whyte-Melville is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story focuses on John Standish Sawyer, an Englishman whose life centers around fox hunting and the pleasures of the hunt. The book sets the scene for Sawyer's adventures and interactions as he prepares to move to Market Harborough, where he aims to reinvigorate his hunter lifestyle in the renowned hunting territories of the Shires. The opening portion of the novel introduces readers to Mr. Sawyer's nostalgic reflections on his life, particularly those centered on hunting. It chronicles his decision to leave his old routines behind in pursuit of a more exciting and fulfilling experience in the Harborough district. With a well-explored past riddled with humorous misadventures, including his rustication from Oxford for a comical escapade with a bull, Sawyer is a determined yet relatable character embarking on a new chapter. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the English hunting scene and captures his personality through engaging descriptions of his aspirations and intent to purchase a new horse for his endeavors in the sport.
