The Poacher is a novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat. The story revolves around the life of a young man named Tom, who is a poacher by profession. He lives in a small village in England and makes a living by poaching game from the local estates. Tom is a skilled hunter and is known for his daring and adventurous spirit. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a beautiful girl named Ellen, who is the daughter of the local squire. Ellen's father is against their relationship and tries to keep them apart. Tom's poaching activities also come under scrutiny, and he is constantly at risk of being caught by the authorities. The novel explores themes of love, class conflict, and the struggle for survival in a rural community. It is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and suspense that will keep readers hooked till the very end.Yes, I do, and I wish we could forget it; but in this instance I do not think you have anything to fear. There is no reward offered for your apprehension, but for my poor boy's, who is now wandering over the wide world; and no one would go to the expense to apprehend you, if there was nothing to be gained by it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
