Notes:
This is the biography of Fred Rolfe, author of I Walked by Night: Being the Life and History of the King of the Norfolk Poachers, first published in 1935. Charlotte Paton is a local history enthusiast and, ironically, magistrate. Paton describes the Rolfe family's life and circumstances in great detail from her research - including court records in which Rolfe appears with monotonous regularity. The author assesses how much of I Walked by Night can be taken at face value, and contrasts Rolfe's account with the documents assembled during her researches. An interesting book, especially when read in conjunction with Rolfe's I Walked by Night.
