Poachers and Poaching - Knowledge Never Learned in Schools This scarce
title was first published in London 1891. It was written by a well known
author who also contributed many poaching and natural history articles
to the sporting press of that era. It is much sought after and valuable
in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has now re-published it using
the original text. The books' 340 pages contain 14 chapters on poaching
throughout the British Isles by man, beast and bird. Natural history
anecdotes abound, with detailed notes on the ways of various wildlife: -
Poachers and Poaching. - Badgers and Otters. - Couriers of the Air.
(Bird flight) - Tracks and Tracking. - British Birds Nests and Eggs. -
Minor British Game Birds. - Water Poachers. - Wild Ducks and Duck
Decoying. - Field and Covert Poachers. - Workers in Woodcraft. -
Sketches from Nature. etc. This fascinating work is thoroughly
recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all sportsmen/naturalists.
Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to
the 1800s, are now extremely scarce and very expensive. READ COUNTRY
BOOKS are reprinting these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions. These editions are republished using the original text
and artwork.
