A lucky soul indeed, is how Edward Miller, who has spent 45 years in the gun trade, describes anyone infected with 'goose fever'.

He was born in 1933 into a long line of Ribble estuary (in Lancashire) shooters and fishers and, after his education at King Edward VII School, Lytham, he joined a Lancashire freelance press agency and remained in full-time journalism for eight years. 

At 26 he bought Entwistle Guns, in Blackpool, a business established in the late Victorian era, and shortly afterwards opened a branch in Preston.

In this lively memoir he conveys the passion for wildfowling that gets sane people out of bed long before first light to walk miles across dangerous tidal flats in the depths of a cold winter dawn to lie flat in damp sand for hours, waiting for that evocative beat of wings to pass overhead.

It is written with great enthusiasm and is a superbly enjoyable read for wildfowlers and the like!!

It is also a great pleasure for me to offer this book for sale as I served my apprenticeship as a gunsmith at Entwistle Guns in Blackpool when Eddie was the owner of the shop.
