The Compleat Angler

Many of the earliest books particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable high quality modern editions using the original text and artwork. Annotation What keeps this 1653 classic on fishing alive is its celebration of the pleasures of the countryside and the moral virtue of a simple pastime. The Compleat Angler will reveal itself as a charming dialogue between an experienced angler named Piscator Venator his newfound disciple and a fowler named Auceps.
