The Angler's Weekend Book

By John Moore

Originally published in 1935, this is a lengthy and wonderful anthology of pieces of writing about fish, fishing, fisherman and the whole joyful, painful experience of the angling life. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
