Good-plus in dust-wrapper with some spotting. 5s. net. "This chronicle of village life was mainly written during the two months of comparative calm which were destined to be the sinister prelude to total war. Moreover, the calm was emphasized, at least in the countryside, by coincidence with one of the bitterest spells of winter within living memory. For a few weeks Larkfield (as I have called the village) experienced something of that self-sufficiency which was the basis of English rural life in the days before Enclosure. And now, as I write this introductory note, every vestige of that calm has been shattered. Larkfield watches the approach of happenings which have no equal in terror or frightfulness. And meanwhile spring unfolds with a completeness only matched by the completeness of the winter that preceded it: the English countryside puts forth her loveliest and best to front the enemy, .Already the Larkfield I have tried to picture in these pages wears the aspect of a dream .but it is a dream that must be kept before our waking eyes when the horrors that sought to blind us are past." C. Henry Warren, from the Foreword. Interesting and readable. .

(Hardcover, 1946). (1945) 1946 reprint. 12mo (116 x 168mm). Ppxxii,568. Woodcut illustrations D.J. Watkins-Pitchford. Fully bound in soft red leather, gilt fish vignette to upper board, spine titled in gilt. Thin paper. Spine cracked, signature to front end-paper, internally clean. Marred by an amateur tape repair to the spine. Lacks dust-wrapper. The publishers infer that the compiler and illustrator are not the same person. "A most pleasing anthology by authors old and new, particularly of the captures of big fish." (Hampton). "A Thames professional fisherman tells of a midnight battle with a giant barbel, Mr. Albert Buckley gives a most thrilling account of is successful capture of Britain's record carp, and many are the accounts of stern fights with noble salmon and trout in Norway, Sweden, and in Britain. .the whole volume, which has been designed to slip into the pocket, is illustrated by Watkins-Pitchford, whose work is such a feature of "BB" books. .its most unusual feature lies in the fact that "BB" has contacted the holders of fishing records and has got from them their first-hand accounts of how, where, and when they caught their big fish." (Dust-wrapper blurb). .
