Description
Edizione: very rare extra illustrated copy of the first bagster edition. the additional plates are of fishes and are all hand coloured.<br> a beloved classic of the english language and what many call the finest "how-to" book ever written; walton's angler has been described as "full of wisdom, kindly humour, and charity; it is one of the most delightful and care-dispelling books in the language." "more than most authors he lives in his writings, which are the pure expression of a kind, humorous and pious soul in love with nature, while the expression itself is unique for apparent simplicity which is really elaborately studied art" (dnb).
