    About this ebook

    "Waltoniana" is a collection of sporadic works by Izaak Walton, a seventeenth-century English writer best known as the author of "The Compleat Angler." The book became famous in its time and above as a celebration of the art and spirit of fishing in prose and verse. Yet, Walton was also the author of other writings in prose and verse, now collected under the title "Waltoniana."
