Description - The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton
First published in 1653, this literary and nature classic offers a primer on fishing as well as a celebration of the sport's spirit with verse, song and folklore, moral reflections, and timeless wisdom. "Breathes the very spirit of innocence, purity, and simplicity of heart . . . it would sweeten a man's temper at any time to read it." - Charles Lamb First published in 1653, this literary and nature classic was created by a Londoner with a passion for rustic life. As satisfying a primer on fishing as any angler could wish, it celebrates the art and spirit of fishing with verse, song and folklore, moral reflections, and timeless wisdom. Cast in the form of a dialogue between the veteran angler Piscator and his pupil Viator, it both informs and delights with an ingenious exploration of fishing's subtle intricacies and the pleasures of the natural world.
