1980 1st edition. Ppxiv,149. Bibliography. Green boards.
"Here for the first time is a detailed local study of what poaching was, who the poachers were, and why they did it, based less on old men's memories than on the court cases of the period. ...The main part of the book is a narrative account of poaching in Norfolk, divided into chronological sections to show the changes in the game laws, while the final chapters look at poaching-gangs and at the severe punishments meted out to those convicted".
