Ian Niall's story of the life of George Henry Watkin, gamekeeper, is enhanced by E. Meirion Roberts' evocative woodcut illustrations. One of my childhood favourites that could easily have led to me becoming a gamekeeper, and might well be the reason that I finished up as a water bailiff / bookseller.
