I remember getting about half way through this book before it was due back to the library,that was 20 years ago now,and i'm still keen to read the rest,i've read a lot of other books since then,but from what i can remember that was as good as any,another very good read is the story of frank cullum Both sides of the fence about a poacher turned gamekeeper,not sure if still available,but worth a look,bought mine years ago,probably from tideline books
