He is not a romantic hero. He is a laborer, who knows the natural world well and sees it without sentimentality.Rightly acclaimed as a masterpiece of nature writing as well as a radical statement on work and class, The Gamekeeper was also, like Hines’s A Kestrel for a Knave ( Kes ), adapted by Hines and filmed by Ken Loach.
