"'The compleat angler, ' first published in 1653, has become a classic of English literature. Where other angling books are of limited appeal to those who do not fish, 'The compleat angler' inspires readers from all walks of life to go in search of the timeless English countryside that Walton evokes with such love."--Publisher description.

About the author (2010)

Being comfortable (and well-connected) enough to retire in 1644, Izaak Walton turned to writing about his passion, fishing. In 1653 he published "The Compleat Angler," a work he added to and revised for years to come - he died at the then extraordinary age of 90, having enjoyed decades of angling during his long retirement, mainly on the River Dove dividing Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
