Bought something to read with my coffee. I heard about this book some time ago, but have never seen a copy.
I like the inscription written on the inside cover as well. LOL
Bear in mind that Izaak Walton was baptised in 1593 and this book was first published in 1653, and written with a view to "celebrating the tranquil pleasures of the countryside and the moral superiority of those that love quietnesse, and vertue, and Angling".
"We'll banish all sorrow
And sing till tomorrow
And Angle and Angle again"
