Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Rodger McPhail (Illustrator) (illustrator). First American Edition, First Thus. Text/Bright, clean, & Near New. Bi-color boards/Fine. Illustrated DJ/NF. Light brown spotting (acidic paper reaction) to leading edges. Eloquent memoir, encompassing fifty years as a gamekeeper to the Dukes of Westminster at Eaton. Included are portraits of guests Winston Churchill and the Prince of Wales, among many, to whom all his work was directed. Above all though the book is the voice of a countryman's love for wildlife, farming, and rural life. Lucky is Norman Mursell whose end words are: "I could not wish to have had a more interesting, satisfying and gratifying job, nay, way of life. Maybe it is not the job to suit everyone, but with due dedication, because that is what it needs, work becomes a pleasure, and if you get pleasure from each day's work what more can you ask?" And, lucky are we readers that Norman Mursell put his thoughts to paper. Rodger McPhail's accompanying illustrations are marvellous. Seller Inventory # 008946
