First published in 1890, The Confessions of a Poacher is an interesting collection of essays and anecdotes based on the author’s personal and extensive experience poaching. Profusely illustrated and highly-readable, this book primarily offers its reader tips and advice on how to be a successful poacher, but also provides a unique insight into England in the late nineteenth century. The Confessions of a Poacher will appeal to those with an interest in hunting and poaching, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: The Embryo Poacher , Under the Night , Graduating in Woodcraft , Partridge Poaching , Hare Poaching , Pheasant Poaching , Salmon and Trout Poaching , Grouse Poaching , Rabbit Poaching , Tricks , and Personal Encounters . Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition for the enjoyment of modern readers.
