Maurice Ingham was the co-author, with Richard Walker, of "Drop me a line". These are his angling reminiscences at his beloved Benniworth Haven, later known throughout the carp-angling world as Woldale. "A book which, for many, epitomises the carp fishing of this important time in angling." "It is not about catching carp or how to catch carp. It is simply about a little jewel set in the Lincolnshire wolds where a few anglers were privileged to spend some time together. There is mention of eels, tench, and of Dick Walker, BB, Ken Taylor and others ...seemingly unimportant trifles have been recorded. They are part of the history of early carp fishing ...a very special book." (Fred J. Taylor, Carpworld). "Surely the nicest book that has ever been written about carp fishing days." (Tim Paisley, Carpworld).
