Ransome, Arthur – ROD AND LINE - Fly Fisher’s Classic Library 1998 Limited to 950 Copies Edition of the 1929 1st. – 240p – The author wrote a weekly column “Rod and Line” for “The Guardian”. He is responsible in part for saving the seldom re-printed work of Sergei Aksakov (1791-1859) a wealthy Russian land-owner and a angler of renown who penned the very entertaining “Akasakov On Fishing” concerning his fishing adventures. Also includes Ransome’s essays on fishing, tackle, fishing adventures and more or less saves the author’s fishing articles from oblivion. A work that should be placed in the front rank of contemporary angling literature, both for its insight into the “sunset hues” through which most see the sport and its literary excellence. – $75.00
