From the time when, as a child, he went to prison and the tread-mill for snaring a rabbit, he lived "agin the law." Rolfe began poaching in boyhood and, despite trying other jobs, including gamekeeping, continued his illegal career with increasing relish. He wrote I Walked by Night in old age, recording the lives of many tough, fascinating characters struggling to survive in an era of rural hardship. The Rabbit Skin Cap tells the story of George Baldry, a resourceful and practical countryman, a shoemaker and a poacher. It is a fascinating account of old Norfolk, its extraordinary characters and how they survived the deprivations of the nineteenth century East Anglian countryside.
