Mr. Shirley-Fox, who is an all-round sportsman and fisherman, as well as a distinguished artist (R.B.A.), and numismatist, has collected these incidents, strange or humorous, from his own fishing career, and illustrated them for his fellow fishermen with most charming pencil and pen-and-ink sketches. They form a pleasant and interesting volume, doubly appealing to the lover of fishing who also has an artisic sense".
