1935 Rod And Line by Arthur Ransome Antique Fishing Book Travellers Library

"The Travellers Library"
Rod And Line
By Arthur Ransome
Published by Jonathan Cape: London 1935 1st Travellers Library Edition

"Rod and Line by Arthur Ransome, first published in 1929, is a collection of essays celebrating the art, philosophy, and quiet pleasures of angling. Drawing on his lifelong passion for fishing, Ransome writes with wit, lyricism, and a deep sense of personal reflection. The essays cover a variety of topics—from fly-fishing and bait selection to riverside musings and the character of fellow anglers. Rather than offering a technical manual, Ransome presents fishing as a contemplative pursuit that connects the angler to nature, tradition, and a slower, more deliberate way of life.

What sets Rod and Line apart is Ransome's literary sensibility and his ability to elevate fishing into an almost meditative art form. His observations are as much about people and place as they are about fish, and his prose often drifts into thoughtful commentary on rural life, solitude, and the changing seasons. The book remains a beloved classic not only among anglers but also among readers who appreciate its charm, gentle humor, and evocation of a quieter world."
