Synopsis

Harry, an incorrigible, engaging and dapper biscuit salesman in his forties becomes the unlikely angling companion of young Tony, the love-struck, shy 19-year-old Jewish accountant who is courting his step-daughter.

Throughout the 1960s, this unique fishing friendship is cemented via a series of fishing jaunts across London, Essex then further afield, to ponds, gravel pits and rivers.

At times touching, at times bawdy, always amusing - this is a book not just for anglers but for anyone who enjoys a finely-told story.
