THE COMPLEAT ANGLER: A contemplative man’s recreation
A.D. 1653 by Izaak Walton
Unabridged narration by Nelson Runger
So disarming is Mr. Walton’s quiet enthusiasm for the countryside and all the various delights that it contains that even if you never have nor ever will pick up a fishing rod you will benefit from a little time spent in the genial company of the author and his friends. “It would sweeten a man’s temper at any time to read it,” Charles Lamb.
