In praise of trout
David Profumo (Author), Ted Hughes, Alan James Robinson (Illustrator)
"A celebration in pictures and words of the life and lore of its subject. A collaboration between two fanatical anglers, one from each side of the Atlantic, it is an evocative tribute to a citizen of the world now thriving in six continents. This is no tired manual of instruction (though a history of fishing techniques is considered) but an illustrated essay about the quintessential joys of thinking and fishing. Drawing primarily on personal images and experiences, David Profumo and Alan Robinson bring into focus the particular qualities that have made this fish so popular; childhood memories mix with literary history, biology mingles with speculation, and the age-old intrigue with the world under water is examined and wondered at."--Jacket
