Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Though he made his name and his fortune as an author of Western novels, Zane Grey's best writing has to do with fishing. There he was, free from the conventions of the Western genre and the expectations of the market, and he was able to blend his talent for narrative with his keen eye for detail and sense of humor, much of it self-deprecating, into books and articles that are both informative and exciting.
This book is a selection of some of Grey's best work, and the stories and excerpts reveal a man who understood that angling is more than an activity - it is a way of seeing, a way of being more fully a part of the natural world. No writer exceeds Zane Grey's ability to integrate the fishing experience with a world he saw so vividly.
