"In direct line of succession from Harvest Adventure, Coastal Adventure, and their predecessors, comes this latest book on country and sporting experiences on the Broads, in East Norfolk and the forgotten islands of Essex, with many a digression into local tradition, little-known history and deliciously pungent anecdote. Mr. Day made this Broadland journey by water, stopping where he would for shooting or for observation of men, birds, animals and nature. Tales of ancient and modern exploits are introduced into the narrative [as are] scores of East Anglian characters - real and legendary - [who] are portrayed in these pages to entertain, amuse and sometimes move the reader."
