Paperback. Condition: New. Return to the River remains one of the finest books ever written about the salmon and has won its place as an angler's and naturalist's classic.Drawn back again to spawn in the stream that hatched them, the deep-sea salmon, the great silver chinooks, return as inevitably as the September rains.
