Great writers. Great stories. One timeless obsession. This book brings together an extraordinary collection of fiction from some of the world’s most celebrated writers, including Stephen King, Robert Travers, Sparse Grey Hackle, PJ O’Rourke, Philip Wylie, and many more, united by a shared fascination with fishing. From quiet moments on lonely rivers to humorous misadventures and deeply human encounters, these stories reveal fishing as far more than a sport. By turns funny, haunting, reflective and profound, the collection explores themes of obsession, patience, memory and the fragile bond between people and the natural world. Whether used as a backdrop for satire or self-discovery, fishing becomes a lens through which life’s struggles and joys come sharply into focus. This book proves that some of the finest tales ever told begin with a line in the water. Very good condition. Softcover, 22.5cm x 15cm, 278 pages.
