LIGHTLY POACHED. By Lillian Beckwith.
1973 1st edition. 8vo (140 x 223mm). Pp192. B/w illustrations by Douglas Hall.Blue boards, spine titled in green.
"'The Lord puts the salmon in the river like he puts the berries on the trees. They're there for all of us, not just the laird.' Thus did Morag explain the occasional indulgence of the Bruachites in a little 'light poaching'. And it needed some explaining for not only were Erchy and Hector, as one might expect, self-confessed experts but a variety of other, far more unlikely people were also skillful at it. ...this is a book of sheer delight that will entrance readers as it carries them breathlessly through creel making and corpse running with the gusto that made [Beckwith's previous books] all best sellers."
