Item description from seller

Hardcover (with pictorial dust jacket - not price clipped). Condition: Very Good. 320pp. A River Never Sleeps, published by Collins [1948], First Edition / First Printing. Roderick L. Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but also as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it - its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He writes eloquently about fishing in his home rivers, the Campbell and the Nimpkish, as well as the streams of his youth in England. Haig-Brown's descriptions and accounts of the men and women who shaped and influenced his early life are central to the book's themes. Month by month, he takes you from river to river, down at last to the saltwater and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright, sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chilly days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon. Roderick L. Haig-Brown was born in England and lived most of his life on Vancouver Island, Canada along the banks of the Campbell River. Bound in the publisher's original brown cloth boards with gilt titles on the spine. Pictorial dust jacket, with black and white photographic image of the author to rear - with small bio. Dust jacket is shelf worn with a few marks, chips, and a small tear to bottom left of tail. Dust jacket illustration remains bright and clear. Some foxing to dust jacket. Uncut lower edge of text block. Minor age toning to pastedown and prelims. Blacl and white illustrations to chapter headings. No annotations. Pages are clear and bright. The book is clean and very good in a very good dust jacket with minor age-related wear. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
