'I Walked by Night - Being the Life and History of the King of the Norfolk Poachers' by Lilias Rider Haggard. This is Haggard's brilliant view of poaching life from both sides of the fence. His unadulterated tales of the not too distant past may shock the 21st century reader with its slaughtering of anything that moved! This is an essential book for anyone with a romantic view of the English countryside and it's not too distant past.
