'I Walked by Night - Being the Life and History of the King of the Norfolk Poachers' by Lilias Rider Haggard. This is Haggard's brilliant view of poaching life from both sides of the fence. His unadulterated tales of the not too distant past may shock the 21st century reader with its slaughtering of anything that moved! This is an essential book for anyone with a romantic view of the English countryside and it's not too distant past.
Lilias Rider Haggard, daughter of prolific author H. Rider Haggard, grew up in the shadow of her well-known father but emerged as an author in her own right, with a number of published books and regular columns in both the local press and national publications. She had had the privilege of sharing in some of her father's exotic travels but also shared her generations tragic experiences of the First World War. Victoria Manthorpe brings together the many strands of her life in this first biography.
