Beavan, Arthur H. Fishes I have known. $1.25. Wessels.
The author’s many and varied experiences in landing strange fishes in out-of-the-way abodes are given instructively enough for cyclopedia information and entertainingly enough to captivate the most indifferent angler. “Dolphins, turtles, pilot-fish—very seldom caught it seems—the Australian barracouta, the Murray cod, the catfish and other antipodean fishes, have been among his prey.... After experiences in faraway waters he comes back to England, and always an entertaining guide, conducts us to more familiar scenes.” (Spec.)

“It is a book which any intelligent reader might presumably enjoy if he enjoys animate life, travel and adventure of any kind; but we imagine the average ten year-old boy would read it with keener interest and more profit than the angler.”
