Fishers on the Green Roads

Barrie Rickards

There are few people around who have fished as much as Barrie Rickards. Over fifty years he has travelled the world in pursuit of a vast number of different fish and has written numerous articles and books on angling. Fishers on the Green Roads is his first fishing novel, and takes him back to his roots. Set in the Ridings of Yorkshire in the post-war period, it recalls the formative years of a young angler and his experiences in the delightful English countryside of the 1940s and 50s. The book is beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Freear.

'. . . this book was like a wonderful journey back to childhood. A time when angling activities were more sensibly mixed in with other countryside activities . . . this is a book which can be enjoyed not only by anglers and nature lovers, but also by anyone with an interest in just having a good read.' - Bill Winship, Pikelines

'I enjoyed the book immensely. It was just like my childhood and my upbringing, and it brought some great memories flooding back. . . Go out and buy this book, then really read it, and take on board what it has to say. It is more than just an angling book.' - Des Taylor, Angling Times
