Addressed cheerfully to schoolboys, Henry Barkley's chapters make an art and a science of catching rats. He writes with humor and long experience about the habits of the quarry and the tricks of the trade. Odd, funny, and genuinely instructive. A Victorian curiosity that turns pest control into a boyhood adventure.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
