Chapman Pincher is best known as an investigative journalist and writer about spies and intelligence affairs, but his first and abiding love has been for the British countryside. While his professional interests appear to be centred on Whitehall and Westminster, he has always been a self-styled "bumpkin", devoted to country life and country sports. This book is the story of how, while producing an emormous output of news reports, features and books, he managed to achieve his youthful ambition of living as closely as possible, with limited means, the life of a country squire". including sport with Beaverbrook, Sopwith, Mountbatten, Nickerson. .

An interesting discussion of the authors and literature of Scottish angling, up to the end of the twentieth century, including an anthology of 117 short extracts from the works discussed. An interesting read, and a useful guide to what is available. For the bibliographer and the bluffer (I'm sure the author didn't see it that way, but life is short), Simmonds gives some guidance as to content and quality. Professor Norman Willison Simmonds, ScD, AICTA, FIBiol., was a fly-fisherman, geneticist and internationally renowned expert on tropical food crops, particularly the banana. He began his career as a professional agronomist in the tropics but spent the last forty years of his life as an academic in Scotland. There, he applied himself to trout fishing, in between being Director of the Scottish Plant Breeding Institue and a member of the Edinburgh School of Agriculture, amongst many other positions. He wrote numerous books and countless articles, some on fishing, most on the genetics and practicalities of food crops. .
