"Frank Sawyer was a man of Wiltshire - fisherman, river-keeper, inventor, naturalist, writer, broadcaster and countryman. He seldom strayed far in his 73 years from the villages of the valley of the upper Avon where he was born and died. But his fame spread across the world. He will be remembered for the way in which, with his tiny nymphs, he advanced the delicate art of fly fishing; but he was much more than a fisherman. He was a true countryman, full of wisdom and country lore, and loved the river Avon and the wild creatures who lived by and in it."

Sawyer also invented a number of animal traps, some of which bore his name; the most widely used ? the Imbra ? is still approved for use in the UK although no longer in production. He died in 1980 on the banks of the River Avon at Netheravon. Sawyer was a prolific writer and wrote hundreds of articles and copious notes on his observations and experiments. Some of his early articles were compiled in the now classic book Keeper of the Stream. This biography of Sawyer written by Sidney Vines with Frank Sawyer was first published by George Allen and Unwin in 1984. It incorporates some of Frank Sawyer's magazine articles and some of his unpublished work. This copy is from the library of Admiral Sir Brian Thomas Brown KCB CBE (born 31 August 1934) is a senior Royal Navy officer from 1852 to 1991 who went on to be Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel Ref BB3.
