Product Description

Product Description

The greatest classic of angling literature and a unique celebration of the English countryside, Izaak Walton's IThe Compleat AnglerR was originally published in 1653 and first appeared with Charles Cotton's continuation in 1676. No book, apart from the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer, has been more often reprinted. As a treatise on the art of fishing it has never wholly been superseded. For its advice on the catching and cooking of fish, the rules for baits, and the making of artificial flies, it remains a valuable and engrossing guide. As a graceful and affectionate portrait of rural England its charm is irresistible and in Walton and Cotton we could not wish for more congenial companions. This illustrated edition, with an Introduction by the novelist John Buchan, has been expanded and revised by John Buxton.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all piscators, 6 Dec 2008
By Mr. Ph Sharp "Pog" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whether you are new to 'The Art Of The Angle' [Fishing] or not, this book contains some superb, if a little archaic banter between two friends of the angle. The teacher and the apprentice. Sir Isaac Walton, [Piscator], considered to be 'The Father Of Angling' and Joseph Cotton [Venator] the willing apprentice of the angle. Follow their journey around England as they fish for all species. This is a wonderful journey back in time. Many things that Walton says have been disproved over the few hundred years since the first book was published. However many other things said by him, still hold true today, wonderful reading. My own copy is a 1955 version with an explained thesaurus at the base of each page.

3.0 out of 5 stars The compleat angler, 10 Sep 2009
By M. Pottinger "cheese" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Compleat Angler (Paperback)
After reading this book I thought it was not the best angling book I have read about fishing as it was written a long time ago by a great angler. Some one else may find it interesting.
All the best.
Tight lines.
Mick.
