A Creel of Willow
W. H. Canaway
Medlar Classics: just what they say they are - classics of angling literature, in a beautiful hardback format and at a very affordable price. Favourite authors and famous books - some long out of print - now available to everyone.
A Creel of Willow is set on the little river Withy, and encounters characters who fish the water - from Rogers, the time-and-motion man who fishes like a machine, to the wise and kindly Dee who fishes the dry fly because he likes it, and old Percival, who does so because his father told him to.
The book is based on real places and real people. The river Withy is, in fact, the river Blithe in Staffordshire, and the Withyfield Reservoir is the Blithfield Reservoir near Cannock Chase. 'Goodwin' was a friend of the family - Peter Godwin - and 'Mike' was Bill Canaway's son Mike (who kindly sent this information to us).
This is a book for fishermen; it is also a book for people who cannot understand fishermen at all.
