James Prosek (illustrator). 1st Edition. 8vo illus. 1st Ed. -[CAT. 62-287.] - "This is the story of a young man's pilgrimage through England fishing the waters that Walton fished three centuries ago." -DJ blurb. I was disappointed that Prosek did not cite Diendorfer's "THE INCOMPLETE ANGLER: Fishing Izaak Walton's Favorite Rivers." NY: Dutton. 1977. Prosek certainly did a fair amount of research on Walton. And I enjoyed his story, his prose, and his watercolors. I was jealous that he conned his Yale committee for a travelling fellowship for his jaunt. But more power to him. A good read.
