ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 1980). (1929) 1982 paperback reprint. 8vo paperback (127 x 196mm). Ppviii,196 + 4pp ads. Not illustrated. Usual slight browning, used but solidly intact second-hand paperback. "In addition to his brilliant success as foreign corresponden…t in Russia and as author of the Swallows & Amazons series of books for children, Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) produced two irresistible fishing books. The first of these, Rod and Line (1929), a collection of pieces originally written for The Guardian newspaper, is probably the most delightful fisherman's bedside book ever produced. Arthur Ransome shared with Harry Plunket Greene a most appealing sense of humour, as well as a passion for fishing and fishing history. But unlike the author of Where the Bright Waters Meet, Ransome was no chalkstream man; he was from the North, lived for years in the Lake District, and did most of his fishing on local rivers and tarns. He confessed to being no more than an average performer with the rod, content to creel pike or perch and the odd eel when nothing finer was available. His skill as a writer, however, was of the first rank. No one has bettered Ransome's wonderful descriptions of fishing days, nor evoked with such art the characters of old anglers, fly-tyers and companions. For sheer enjoyment, Rod and Line takes the prize." .

Fully bound in red bonded leather, gilt FFCL motif to upper board, spine titled in gilt, silk marker ribbon, marbled end-papers, top edge gilt. Edition limited to…only 750 copies. Boards slightly marked but a very good second-hand copy, no slip-case. First published in 1955 as a National Book League Reader's Guide, this is a most useful reference. An eleven-page Introduction by Ransome precedes a catalogue of angling books. The entries carry lively and interesting notes; a great improvement on the earlier Reader's Guide edited by John Moore. This Flyfisher's Classic Library edition has a new Preface by Tom Fort. ".Ransome's selection represents as sound a basis for a fishing library now as it did forty years ago." (Tom Fort 1994.) "The Fisherman's Library was commissioned by the National Book League as one of a series of short historical information books by well-known writers. Here Arthur Ransome lists and describes some of his favourite volumes. From his early days, he had been a keen collector with a particular fondness for unusual early books and diaries. By the time this little book appeared in 1955 Ransome had a substantial library and reading about fishing became the solace of his old age. What better introduction to the literature of angling could there be than this? Our text adds Ransome's original note under Omissions which he may have prepared in case of a reprint." .

Flat on his front, binoculars to his eyes, alone at dusk, Dick makes a remarkable discovery, two rare birds, never before seen in the British Isles. Captain Flint and his crew decide to consult an expert to confirm the discovery. But when the man they ask turns out to have his collector's eye on the birds' eggs, not to mention skins, an enjoyable voyage around the Outer Hebrides becomes a desperate race to save the birds, and themselves. 'Great Northern?' is the twelfth and final completed book of Arthur Ransome's 'Swallows and Amazons' series of children's books, featuring the three families of major characters in the series, the Swallows (the Walker family), the Amazons (the Blackett sisters) and the Ds (the two Callums). .

Edition limited to only 750 copies. Fine in slipcase. Edition limited to 750 copies. First published in 1955 as a National Book League Reader's Guide, this is a most useful reference. An eleven-page Introduction by Ransome precedes a catalogue of angling books. The entries carry lively and interesting notes; a great improvement on the earlier Reader's Guide edited by John Moore. This Flyfisher's Classic Library edition has a new Preface by Tom Fort. ".Ransome's selection represents as sound a basis for a fishing library now as it did forty years ago." (Tom Fort 1994.) "The Fisherman's Library was commissioned by the National Book League as one of a series of short historical information books by well-known writers. Here Arthur Ransome lists and describes some of his favourite volumes. From his early days, he had been a keen collector with a particular fondness for unusual early books and diaries. By the time this little book appeared in 1955 Ransome had a substantial library and reading about fishing became the solace of his old age. What better introduction to the literature of angling could there be than this? Our text adds Ransome's original note under Omissions which he may have prepared in case of a reprint." .

Frontispiece photograph. Quarter bound in dark brown bonded leather over brown cloth, gilt FFCL motif to upper board, spine titled in gilt, silk marker ribbon,…top edge gilt. Brown cloth-bound slipcase. Edition limited to 600 copies. Bookplate of former owner to front end-papes. Slight use but very good in slightly used slip-case. This, the first Flyfisher's Classic Library edition, includes a new biographical introduction by Jeremy Swift. This edition, limited to 600 copies, quickly sold out and was re-issued by the Flyfisher's Classic Library, in a full leather binding, in 1998. "In addition to his brilliant success as foreign correspondent in Russia and as author of the Swallows & Amazons series of books for children, Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) produced two irresistible fishing books. The first of these, Rod and Line (1929), a collection of pieces originally written for The Guardian newspaper, is probably the most delightful fisherman's bedside book ever produced. Arthur Ransome shared with Harry Plunket Greene a most appealing sense of humour, as well as a passion for fishing and fishing history. But unlike the author of Where the Bright Waters Meet, Ransome was no chalkstream man; he was from the North, lived for years in the Lake District, and did most of his fishing on local rivers and tarns. He confessed to being no more than an average performer with the rod, content to creel pike or perch and the odd eel when nothing finer was available. His skill as a writer, however, was of the first rank. No one has bettered Ransome's wonderful descriptions of fishing days, nor evoked with such art the characters of old anglers, fly-tyers and companions. For sheer enjoyment, Rod and Line takes the prize." .
