Baker Jr., Palmer R. - THE SWEET OF THE YEAR – 1965 1st edition – 127p – Morrow, NY – Only a very few angling authors have had the ability to put into words the feelings we all share for fly fishing and nature in general, this author had that skill down to a science. For example: On an April evening the wind comes softly from the south. The angler reaches the countryside with his friends. Stepping from the car, he smells the damp earth and feels the wind. Then suddenly the sweetness is upon him. From the pools and swamp meadow across the road he hears the peepers, the little frogs of spring, singing as though their hearts and lungs would break." R. Palmer Baker Jr.. The author share his tales of fly fishing throughout the northeast and Canada with much on the Catskills. His lovely prose is no doubt why this book is so popular and I am unable to keep a copy in stock. Hailed by Bruns as “Lovely writing and a sweet book to read.” Sadly we have lost this kindly old gentleman to the march of time, but his words will live on. – Scarce and Collectible -Book is fine in a very good unclipped dust jacket with very minor edge wear. - $90.00
