“He is a man of ambition writing of his pioneering commitment to deer farming. No-one can fail to sympathise with the massive setback endured when his breeding herd had to be slaughtered because of a threatened epidemic of tuberculosis. Not only was there no government compensation at that time but it also turned out that not one of his deer had been infected.”
“the author provides a considerable amount of fascinating Scottish history…. The book is thought-provoking . It should be read not only by those with an interest in wild and farmed deer, but also by those concerned with the economic, social and political aspects of food production… a fascinating book”
“Proving the viability of farming deer has tested Dr Fletcher’s enthusiasm and dedication to the limit, and the triumphs and disasters make gripping reading.”
“Fletcher's Game is a compulsive read…a must for deer lovers and food fanatics alike”
“….extraordinarily moving…. Fletcher's Game should be compulsory reading for all civil servants and ministers…”
“A compelling and humorous autobiography”
