A funny old Quist: Recorded March 27th to April 6th and May 27th to May 29th, 1978 (Ordinary lives) - Hardcover
Synopsis
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.
