George Purse, a former steelworker, now works as a gamekeeper on a ducal country estate. His job is to gather, hand-rear, and care for birds that will be shot by his wealthy employers during the shooting season on the Glorious Twelfth. He must also prevent poachers from sneaking onto the land in search of food. Season after season, George makes his rounds, observing the natural world without sentimentality. "The Gamekeeper" is a masterpiece of nature writing and a radical statement on work and class. It has been adapted by Hines and filmed by Ken Loach, and it stands as a haunting classic of twentieth-century fiction.
