Evan Rogers worked as a gamekeeper on the same Herefordshire estate for 68 years. His story takes us back to an idyll of rural England, when the land was tended by many, the villages were full of industry, the Big House full of guests and the kitchens proudly filled with local produce. If Rogers summons up a lost Arcadia of self-sufficiency, bird-song and wild flowers he is also too honest not to recall the appalling poverty and ignorance, and his own brutal father. He also lets slip many a stinging aside about the semi-feudal establishment of which he was such a loyal servant.
Whether he is rescuing flamingos from ice, helping a young woman to give birth in the fields while gathering stones for a shilling a ton or simply doing his morning rounds, his company is enchanting.

A game-keeper tells of his sixty-eight years on the same Herefordshire estate. Although a traditionalist, he doesn't pretend that life was always easy, and he is sometimes sharply critical of former masters. From this truthful account, we get an unsentimental yet affectionate picture of life on a semi-feudal estate. Ref NNN 2. Codice articolo 030720
