What is Itchen Memories: Modern Fishing Classics (Modern fishing classics) about?

In fishing books, instruction and reminiscence are inextricably plaited together. Even the books that purport to tell a simple story contrive to make or find themselves making pupils of their readers. And many of the books that set out merely to be instructive are lit by the glow of recollected emotion and turn to poetry without knowing it. What wonder therefore that more good books have been written about fishing than any other sport? What wonder that fishermen, when they cannot fish, enjoy reading those good books? So wrote that great fisherman and great writer Arthur Ransome. And the truth of his words is manifest in the last hundred years of the literature of fishing. The shelves of our libraries and antiquarian bookshops are full of true classics, beautifully written and still relevant to the fisherman today. This important new series, printed direct from original editions, will make these great and delightful books available to the millions of passionate anglers and fishermen--whether they prefer to fish outdoors or in their armchairs.--Cover
