$a “Mr. Vesey-FitzGerald shows us quite another side of country life in this very unusual book about the countryside and country people. He knows well those to whom “shiny nights” are their chief delight. All those characters who take their sport by night … poachers, “loafers”, “mouchers”, tramps and gypsies … appear in these pages. Mr Vesey-FitzGerald knows them all. This is more than an unconventional and delightful book. It is a most important book by one of the best-known sportsmen-naturalists of the day.” [dust-jacket].
