About this book

The Compleat Angler: or, The Contemplative Man's Recreation (Modern Library) by Izaak Walton. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780679602033.

Originally cast in the form of a dialogue between an experienced angler named Piscator and his pupil Viator, the book details methods for catching, eating, and savoring all varieties of fish, from the common chub to the lordly salmon. More than an engaging guide to the subtle intricacies of the sport, Waltons reflective treatise is a graceful portrait of rural England that extols the pleasures of country life.
