(1945) 1947 2nd edition. 8vo (140 x 222mm). P59. Illustrated with 12 colour plates after paintings by the author. Green cloth, spine titled in silver.
Concise description of the British freshwater fishes with attractive colour paintings of each in twelve plates. The first edition of 1945 had black and white plates whilst this second edition was produced in colour. "The colours are quite pleasant in themselves; unfortunately they make many of the fish quite unrecognisable. I have caught more than a few fish in my time, and never have I seen trout, salmon, or perch like those illustrated in this book." (The Scottish Angler, May-June 1948).
