'Kraut und Lot' is, despite its subtitle 'A Book for Hunters and Gamekeepers', a work that holds great significance even for laypeople and non-hunters. Almost like a textbook, it contains advice and instructions for hunters, but these hunting topics are not presented with dry didacticism; instead, they are treated with lively freshness, often spiced with delightful humor. The underlying tone of each sentence is, as in all other works by the author, a passionate love for everything that 'creeps and crawls'.
