THE PLEASURES OF FISHING. By Logie Bruce Lockhart.
1981 1st edition. 8vo (140 x 222mm). Ppviii,104. Not illustrated. Dark blue boards, spine titled in gilt.
A good collection of fishing articles - mostly on Scottish trout and seatrout. "Logie Bruce Lockhart has written about fishing for many years, with wit, perception and, sometimes, exasperation. This collection of his pieces ranges from the evocation of his boyhood introduction to the sport (Boyhood's Lost Freedom) to his mature experiences of fishing in Germany and France (Vive Greenwell!). Fishing in Scotland is the subject of many essays such as Silver and Stardust and there are many other pieces such as The Major's Pool and In Praise of Schubert which are not so easily labelled but which add new threads to the tapestry."
