Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book shares a treasure trove of anecdotal observations, traditions, tips, and nature lore of traditional gamekeepers, gleaned from a collective half a century of their experiences managing woodland estates. The author paints a vivid picture of the gamekeeper's life and work, a role steeped in rich tradition and expert knowledge, at a time when much of their timeless wisdom was on the cusp of being lost. The book takes readers on an evocative and immersive journey alongside the gamekeeper through twelve months in the woods: an existence largely unchanged for centuries. From woodland management to vermin control, from the rearing of pheasants to their protection from poachers, we are taken on an enlightening adventure into the unique world of the gamekeeper. This book will be an invaluable guide for fellow keepers, a fascinating insight for country-lovers and a reminder of a disappearing rural way of life.
