ANGLING VAGABOND: A GLORIOUS BOYHOOD. By Dave Park. Illustrations by Cliff Hatton.
2007 1st edition. 4to paperback (178 x 235mm). Ppiv,135. Cartoon illustrations by Cliff Hatton.
"Viewed through rose-tinted glasses after sixty years, any boyhood might be described as glorious, but growing up in the immediate post-war era, with its new-found sense of freedom, offered perhaps a more glorious prospect than most." The story opens in Sussex in 1940, moving a few years later to Norfolk, and after the end of the war, back to Sussex again. Catching newts, making fishing tackle, scrumping, tar barrels, saltwater fishing, freshwater fishing, gathering chestnuts, shooting, milking cows, helping in grandfather's engine shed, grammar school, and the development of schoolboy fishers into serious anglers.
