This quotation book includes angling quotes from Eric Morecambe, HM The Queen Mother, Isaak Walton and Thomas Bewick. Also included are H.E. Bate's awesome description of the predator - the pike, the "J.R. Hartley" debate, Charles Kingsley's descriptions of a chalk stream and an 1800-year-old description of fly fishing. For every angler, whatever his speciality, this book will attempt to enliven non-fishing days and make readers smile at such cynical definitions of angling as "incessant expectation and perpetual disappointment".

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1993). 1993 1st edition. Small 8vo (133 x 183mm). Pp94. B/w illustrations, coloured end-papers. Black boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Very good in spine-faded dust-wrapper. With this book, "the angler can relax with the wit, wisdom and humour of his fellow sportsmen.

He can shudder too at H.E. Bates's awesome description of the predator Esox lucius, view with mistrust Ovid's advice, share the anticipation of 'J.R. Hartley', puzzle at Lord Byron's vitriolic assault on Izaak Walton, enjoy Charles Kingsley's lyrical descriptions of a chalk stream and be fascinated by an 1800-year-old description of fly fishing". .
