Summary "A Gamekeeper's Note-book" by Owen Jones and Marcus Woodward is a collection of observations and anecdotes reflecting on the life of a gamekeeper in early 20th-century England. It delves into the daily responsibilities, experiences, and the intricate relationship gamekeepers have with wildlife, as well as the challenges they face in their line of work. The authors draw upon their own memories along with genuine notes from a seasoned gamekeeper, providing insights into the sporting life and woodcraft practices. At the start of the book, the authors introduce the role of a gamekeeper, highlighting the complexities of their position, which encompasses wildlife preservation, sport, and a deep-rooted connection to the land. They illustrate the gamekeeper’s duties, from maintaining game populations to dealing with poachers, while also touching upon their personal lives, including the pets that provide companionship at the keeper’s cottage. The opening sets a tone of affectionate respect towards the life of a gamekeeper, laying the groundwork for more detailed accounts of their experiences with various aspects of rural life, game management, and wildlife behavior throughout the seasons.
