| Wild Fowling in the Fens with James Wentworth Day |
James Wentworth Day* was 'firmly of the Agrarian Right school and essentially a High Tory' notes the 'pedia that is Wiki'd - crypto-fascist others might suggest, 'impressed by Mussolini,' writes Robert Innes-Smith in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, but 'persistently warned of the danger posed by German ambitions and criticized the Nazi regime'.
Noted here for his affection for East Anglia and a raft of books about its lands and peoples, with a hat tip to Mr Easterbrook for drawing our attention to the gentleman.
*Not to be confused with Wentworth's Day a short story by HP Lovecraft and August Derleth in the Cthulhu mythos.
