My goodness, no Arthur Ransome? Does the Big Six or the Coot Club not count as classic?

There's a gap in the twenty th century

I Walked By Night.       Edited by Lilias Rider Haggard.   The memories of a Norfolk Poacher....a real classic of days gone by. Dek.

Any publication by Keith Skipper gets my thumbs up. The bumper book of Norfolk Squit is a particularly amusing read.

Seconded, Dek.. I lived for several years on his patch and then there were several of us who followed in his footsteps and also 'walked by night'. Some older residents knew him and confirmed it was a non-fiction work.

Hasta La Victoria Siempre !
