Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and insightful look at the art of fishing with a rod and line, written in the middle of the 15th century. The author, writing in a charmingly antiquated English style, meticulously details the process of making fishing equipment, from crafting rods to coloring fishing lines. Beyond the practicalities, the author goes on to explore the pleasures and philosophical underpinnings of the sport. They offer a compelling argument for the joys of angling, contrasting it with the more arduous pursuits of hunting, hawking, and fowling. The author argues that angling promotes a serene state of mind, leading to a long and happy life. This perspective echoes the medieval belief in the restorative power of nature and the virtues of contemplation. The book's rich descriptions of the natural world, and its emphasis on the importance of finding joy in simple pursuits, offer a glimpse into a past world and its values. The book provides a unique historical glimpse into the practices and attitudes towards angling in 15th century England, showcasing the sport's appeal to both the aristocracy and the common folk.
