The Compleat Angler, by Isaak Walton, Part 1

from Boring Books for Bedtime Readings to Help You Sleep

Let's cast our lines into the river of relaxation with this classic about the art of fishing. This time, we begin with a conversation between a hunter, a falconer, and an angler about the relative superiority of their professions. But first, an overwrought patron dedication and lengthy, self-deprecating epistle to the reader, in perfect 17th century style. Deliciously dull!   Help us stay ad-free and 100% listener-supported!
