    About this ebook

    Although he was primarily a screenwriter and actor, since his death, Roland Pertwee's written work has attracted increasing amounts of critical attention. 'The River God' is now regarded as one of the finest British fishing stories ever written. Many of the finest English sport stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

      It’s Chucking-out Time

      Jun 11, 2020

      AS soon as the starter pistol banged, I threw the fishing kit into the car and went to see ‘someone who isn’t a direct member of your household’. Partly it was to chuck a fly, partly to savour the sheer joy of escaping the family. Much as one loves o

      Howl Palace

      Sep 15, 2019

      Last week, I finally had to put Howl Palace up for sale. Years of poor financial planning had led to this decision, and I tried to take some comfort in my agent’s belief in a buyer who might show up with an all-cash offer. My agent is a highly organi

      Sales Of Boats Are Buoyant

      Much like Quint in the movie Jaws I’m beginning to think I’m gonna need a bigger boat. It’s not that sharks are a particular problem in Essex – unless you’re buying a used car – it’s more that I made the mistake of turning on my TV the other day when

      A Knotty Subject

      Feb 7, 2020

      Many readers will be unaware that, a couple of decades ago, the RYA cruising syllabus still specified the ability to whip a rope’s end in a seamanlike manner. I’m sad to report that this quietly disappeared somewhere around 2003. On the whole, the sy
