ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2011). 2011 1st edition. Small 8vo (142 x 222mm). Pp187. Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations, maps. Blue boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Slight foxing but a very good copy in dust-wrapper. With the invention of the railways in… the early nineteenth century, anglers were, for the first time, able to fish the length and breadth of Britain. The great train companies positively courted them, with special trains and angling club discounts. From the Highlands of Scotland to the English Channel, the Welsh mountains to the Norfolk Broads, no corner of the British mainland was ignored by the emerging railway network - and where the iron rails appeared, so too did the fishermen. In A Train to Catch Jon Berry, angling historian, fisherman and travel writer, attempts to follow in their footsteps using today's rail network, with fascinating and often highly comic consequences. From Hampshire Avon barbel and Windermere charr to garfish from Victorian piers: an enjoyable jaunt with one of our favourite - and most literate - all-round angling authors. .
