This is a superb book about the most mysterious, beautiful and magical of fish - the trout.   With a foreword by Ted Hughes and lovely full colour and mostly full page illustrations by Alan James Robinson, the book is a complete delight.   The author is David Profumo, who gives us a celebration of the life of the trout, focusing on the world under water, lifecycle, literary history -  the book ranges from conservation to superstition, to entomology to ritual.

With a green binding and yellow inside cover, the book is in good condition throughout but there is a slight waterstain on the flyleaf.   The dustjacket is bright and vivid but slightly scuffed round the edges - doesn't detract in my opinion.

Contents include:  The Mystique of Fishing, The Appearance and Variety of Trout, Habitat, Dangers and Life-Cycle, The Trout and the Mayfly Carnival etc.  Lots of vivid full colour illustrations.  90 pages.  Published by Viking.  12" x 9".
