"Muriel Constance Foster was born in June 1884, in the village of Shenley in Surrey, England. She was the first daughter in a typically Victorian upper-middle-class family of four girls and two boys. Muriel Foster's interests, which included fencing as well as fishing, were always allied with those of her brothers." "This remarkable fishing diary, on which Aunt Muriel lavished so much of her affection and skill, was never intended for publication but was simply a private document of one of her most pleasurable lifelong activities. It has been my most treasured possession, and it is in the spirit of tribute to my aunt that I wish to share it, even with those who never had the pleasure of knowing her."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Perhaps the most beautiful book I've ever encountered. This is a reproduction of a young Englishwoman's meticulous fishing journal... Where she fished, what she caught, what flies she used. But it's more than that... It's a beautiful - gorgeous - watercolor journal. It's a testament to a long life of passion,t5he image of a strong woman who knew exactly what brought her joy. ( )
