The Compleat Angler: Or, The Contemplative Man's Recreation, 1653

Front Cover
Birdalone Books, 1988 - Social Science - 340 pages
Although the 1653 world of Izaak Walton was far different from our own, his advice on fishing has never gone out of style. For those who fish or just love the outdoors, this classic of English literature, loved for the character of its author as well as the lore he imparts, is a treasure. Includes a new Introduction by Thomas McGuane and charming illustrations throughout by the great Arthur Rackham.
