Whether you are a keen fly fisherman or merely a collector of fine tales and piscatorial literature, Wolf Avni's collection of hilarious and irreverent fishing stories and superb photographs cannot fail to delight you. The sparkling anecdotes range from the factual to the myth of the mean, uncatchable monster with a cult following, after whom the book is named, to droll descriptions of a local hostelry decked out in drop-dead-tourist trout motif. Fishermen's yarns abound, but are intertwined with lyrical narrative describing the beautiful environs in which trout fishing streams occur. Leavened by a sizable dose of self-deprecating humour, this collection of wonderfully written tales will provide hours of entertaining reading. Softcover, 160 pages, 21cm x 15cm.
Very good condition.
