BOOKS ON COUNTRY LIFE.
FLY-LEAVES FROM A FISHERMAN'S DIARY.
By CAPTAIN G. E. SHARP.
With Photogravure Illustrations. Crown 8vo., 5s. net.
This is a very charming little book containing the reflections on things piscatorial of a 'dry-fly' fisherman on a south country stream. Although the Author disclaims any right to pose as an expert, it is clear that he knows well his trout, and how to catch them. He is an enthusiast, who thinks nothing of cycling fifteen miles out for an evening's fishing, and home again when the 'rise' is over. Indeed, he confesses that there is no sport he loves so passionately, and this love of his art—surely dry-fly fishing is an art?—makes for writing that is pleasant to read, even as Isaac Walton's love thereof inspired the immortal pages of 'The Compleat Angler.'
MEMORIES OF THE MONTHS.
By the RIGHT HON. SIR HERBERT MAXWELL, Bart.,
Author of 'Scottish Gardens,' etc.
SERIES I. to V.
With Photogravure Illustrations. Large crown 8vo., 7s. 6d. each.
Every year brings new changes in the old order of Nature, and the observant eye can always find fresh features on the face of the Seasons. Sir Herbert Maxwell goes out to meet Nature on the moor and loch, in garden and forest, and writes of what he sees and feels. This is what gives his work its abiding charm, and makes these memories fill the place of old friends on the library bookshelf.
