The seventeenth century Englishman Izaak Walton is the celebrated author of 'The Compleat Angler', a pastoral discourse on the joys and stratagems of fishing that has become one of the most frequently reprinted books of English literature. The unpretentious treatise, of which Walton declined to claim authorship on its first appearance, became a household book from the eighteenth century. Though many of its devotees have been fishermen, Walton's engaging style in dialogue and description, his enthusiasm for innocent outdoor recreation and his love for the past have elevated 'The Compleat Angler' out of the category of handbooks into a unique status. Walton also wrote a number of short biographies, later collected under the title of 'Walton's Lives', which are now considered to be seminal examples of biographical literature. This comprehensive eBook presents Walton's complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and bonus material. (Version 1)
