(Hardcover, 1946). (1943) 1946 reprint. Large 4to (220 x 285mm). Ppxiv,137. Colour and b/w illustrations by the author, foreword by David M. Newell. Maroon cloth, spine titled in gilt. Marks to cloth, hinges tape-repaired. Good-plus, lacks dust-wrapper. "Countless thousands of us, in the Armed Forces and in private life, must depend almost wholly upon memory for the delights which circumstances deny - days afield with dog and gun, and on stream with rod and reel. But it is memory tempered with hope. For soon the good sun will flood the uplands with a warm, unfading light; and the birthright of a free people will be restored. The excuse for this book, then, is nostalgia. It is my hope that it may, in a small way, help to brighten a few moments of the trying hours which still lie ahead." A number of the pieces in this book originally appeared in Esquire and Field and Stream. "The drawings in black-and-white were made especially for this book. Color plates are from original water colors, and have not been previously reproduced." Chapters include: Bob and Madame White; What makes a fly-caster?; Grousings of a gunner; Fishing at your doorstep; The woodcock are down!; The other side of trout fishing; A touch of frost; Queer angles on angling. .
