The end result is a fascinating account of the life of the gamekeeper and the training of a young man (or woman) in that career. It is part of the Field Sports Library."

(Hardcover, 1985). (1981) 1985 2nd edition. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Ppxiv,142. B/w illustrations from old engravings. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Marks to edges and end-papers, rather used but a good copy in dust-wrapper. This is the fascinating autobiography of a Staffordshire poacher in which he gives a detailed account of his life, the condition of the rural population of his day as well as full details of his activities and the methods and techniques he used. Rather a classic in its genre. "This book is about poaching life and the work and knowledge it takes is written mainly for my grandsons. It tells of the hard poverty in this so-called Great Britain in the early years of this [19th] century, in the early twenties and thirties when poverty was widespread throughout the country. I carried on the poaching game from schoolboy days throughout life until disease was deliberately spread over the whole country. What you read in this book is truth and not the rubbish written by some authors. I will explain some of this rubbish as I go along." .
