Mr. Jefferies tells of pretty much all we, today, need to know about the life of a Gamekeeper back in the day when it was pretty much universally considered to be sport to shoot things or it was a necessary action to stay alive or make a living illegally. He explains the tools and weapons used by "sportsmen" and poachers, the wonderful ways that the English Estate wildlife existed, the homes that gamekeepers and their wives made for themselves and their families, and where he fitted in the English caste system. It was all very interesting if a bit boring in its presentation on these pages. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Richard Jefferies (1848-87) remains one of the most thoughtful and most lyrical writers on the English countryside. He had aspirations to make a living as a novelist, but it was his short factually based articles for The Live Stock Journal and other magazines, drawn from a wealth of knowledge of the rural community into which he had been born, which when brought together in book form brought him recognition (though not wealth) and which continued to be read and admired after his early death. The Gamekeeper at Home and The Amateur Poacher (also reissued in this series) were both collections of essays in the style of reminiscences of a rural way of life which, though never idyllic, was by the 1870s beginning to undergo a period of rapid change, through both the onset of mechanisation and agricultural depression.
