Description
First published in 1653, "The Compleat Angler" is a timeless treatise on the art of fishing. Written as a conversation between an experienced angler and his student, this influential manual offers practical advice on how to catch and eat fish, while also celebrating the English pastoral lifestyle and its incredible scenery. Written by Izaak Walton shortly after the end of the English Civil War, "The Compleat Angler" extols a return to a simpler life in the countryside as an antidote to national and personal tragedy. The book's popularity was immediate, leading to numerous reprints and updates over the years. In 1676, Walton's friend Charles Cotton added a second part, which included lessons on fly fishing and tying flies. This edition of "The Compleat Angler" includes both parts, offering a comprehensive guide to the art and sport of fishing. Printed on premium acid-free paper, this volume is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and practice of angling.
