ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1884 ). 1884 1st edition. 12mo (130 x 188mm). Ppxii,188. 4 engraved plates. Green cloth with gilt vignette on upper board. Lacks front end-paper. Grassington Angling Club stamps. Good-plus. Despite its rather heavy title, this is largely a book of angling stories - mainly the author's efforts with the fly, but he also enjoyed trolling the minnow, fishing the otter-board, and trimmer-fishing for pike. "His descriptions are careful and happy, his humour always abundant, and his enjoyment in cottage homes and wayside hotels, where he met hospitable and interesting characters on his fishing excursions, is pencilled in with a grace and accuracy which lend a charm to his little book not often surpassed by the best of writers." (Braithwaite's obituary in the Kendal Mercury and Times, quoted by Keith Harwood in Fish and Fishers of the Lake District). "In 48 years of fishing the Lune, Braithwaite never caught a trout of over one pound in weight." (Harwood). .
