"He had written a number of novels which displayed him as a humourist of rare gifts, but he had never done anything better than (An Angler At Large) which is one of the choicest volumes in the library... Mrs. Caine published a posthumous volume of his fishing sketches, Fish, Fishing And Fishermen, with a preface by Guy C. Pollock... she herself died suddenly before the end of the year."
