THE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY: OR FATE AND THE FISHERMAN. By John Aston.

2012 1st edition. 8vo (162 x 240mm). Pp224. B/w chapter heading vignettes, dust-wrapper illustration by Alex Jardine. Black boards, spine titled in gilt.

John Aston's first book, A Dream of Jewelled Fishes, was published in 2007 to wide critical acclaim. In this book he delves deeper into what fishing is and what it means to be a fisherman, taking us with him on his fishing trips again - covering a wide range of subjects from casting a mayfly to floodwater barbel fishing. "... on the riverbank the cobwebs on the husks of the cow parsley were starred with little galaxies of dew drops and the hawthorns were Jackson Pollock'd with berries. As a fisherman you don't need to attend Harvest Festival to understand what this is all really about, this feeling of peace and satedness, of harvest home and the time before the winter storms jag and whirl their way across the Atlantic to bully you through the long weeks before the Spring Solstice."
