Synopsis

Harry, a boy with a passion for fishing, visits his favourite place, a crystal-clear chalk stream where kingfishers dart and minnows abound. He is there to catch a trout. Will he be lucky? His quest turns into a small adventure, involving meeting lots of animals and other wildlife on the way. This delightful story book, illustrated with delicate water colours, aims to encourage early primary school kids to follow Harry's lead and go fishing whilst meanwhile enjoying the outdoors.
