The Notorious Poacher: Memoirs of an Old Poacher (Field Sports Library)

172pp, with numerous black and white illustrations throughout. In green cloth boards with gilt titles on spine. Boards are strong, clean, fresh and square, internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a small, mild smudge mark at the base of the list of illustrations. In its original dust jacket (very mildly bumped along upper edge). True account of the life of a poacher based in North Staffordshire, spanning a period of some 50 years from boyhood to the post-war period, when the poacher finds himself almost an old man. Gamekeepers, social historians, lovers of the countryside and, indeed, poachers will likely love this book.
