Maroon Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Revised & Enlarged. "Desolate, remote, yet full of the echoes of history, the East Anglian fens are a perfect habitat for today's wildfowler, wanderer and fisherman. They have a strange and wild history, for savage Vikings, monks, Romans, adventurers, dour Dut…ch drainers and a creeping race of mongrel Britons have all, in their time, navigated the slow, meandering rivers. Later, the Fenman was to wrest a precarious living from eels, fish, wildfowl, reed and peat cutting; from duck decoys, coprolite mines and herding bullocks, keeping at bay as best he might the ague and clouds of poisonous mosquitoes. The underlying theme was water, the ever present risk of floods, dykes, drains, washes, learns and cuts of his half-tamed waterland. The Fenman and his hostile terrain with its strange birds and beasts are inextricably linked. This is the story of the gunners and fishermen, of wild, bloodshot sunsets, waving reeds, of old yarns, floods, otters, puntgunners, hen harriers and the author's life spent with rod, gun and flat-bottomed boat among them. Out on the lonely fen waiting under a harvest moon for the mallard, the ghosts of the skaters, wild 'slodgers', holy men and drainers, not to mention the awesome, spectral hound Black Shuck, rustle and whisper restlessly in the reeds and there are echoes of wildfowl rising from an ancient mere with the sound of distant thunder. Evocative, richly informative and beautifully illustrated by John Paley and Philip Murphy, this book will delight all those fascinated by the more remote areas of our countryside - and by tales and recollections of times past."; an enlarged edition of this classic title, now with superb specially commissioned water-colour paintings; first published in 1986, & now brought back in response to popular demand; price-intact, protected D/J.; 192 pages.

The word "poacher" evokes strong emotions from people in many walks of life. Urban romantics see the poacher as the Robin Hood of the countryside, but gamekeepers loathe him. Without poachers, however, there would be fewer gamekeepers, and so the two callings are inextricably linked. Taking a close look at the world of the old poachers, this book presents a variety of colourful yarns of their activities in bygone days. The long netters, gate netters, hare snarers, fish snatchers, night shooters and old trail netters here rub shoulders - a strange, lawless band of ragged individuals, some of them better versed in the ways of fish and fowl than the keeper himself. Few of them gained riches from their activities, but they all had a compelling urge to follow a precarious and risky calling. As a last resort they brawled with keepers, sometimes winning, more often losing, and in the early days they were transported or imprisoned for taking a hare. The modern, large-scale poaching gang which poisons rivers, strips covers and is ready to commit murder rather than risk capture has no place in this book. It is nostalgically dedicated to the rural character of a century ago. Ref DDD 1. John Paley (illustrator).
