A Pleasure of Fishes

Bernard Venables

Bernard Venables was well known as a writer, and as the creator of Mr Crabtree, but was less well known as an artist. This book should put the picture straight. Here, for the first time, is a book that shows the beautiful and meticulously detailed watercolours of a man whose great love of fish and nature inspired a generation. Each piece of artwork is accompanied by a description of the species, its habitat and its characteristics. Medlar is honoured to be able to publish this, his last, and perhaps most cherished, work
