Présentation de l'éditeur :
This classic country book was first published in 1910 during the heyday of the ground sporting estates of England. This edition of 'A Gamekeeper's Notebook' with an introduction by the late John Humphreys provides an absorbing account of the keeper's daily life and worth month-by-month through the seasons. It reveals the secrets of the trade, the ways of the pheasant and the stoat, the hare and the fox, the badger and the crow, as well as the methods of the night poacher, with long net and snare. It is one of the most authoritative books of its kind ever produced.
Revue de presse :
Full of tips and wisdom on rural life, such as home-made remedies used by gamekeepers to treat ailments. I bet you never dreamt that the fat of hedgehogs was once used to treat rheumatism! The book is broken down into bite-sized pieces making it easy to dip in and out of and will appeal to anyone interested in traditional rural life. --NFU Countryside
