Copies of my book The Complete Angler are selling reasonably well despite me swimming welll clear of the Amazonian sharks who want an arm and a leg to sell it!
I've just discovered that a translated version of the Compleat Angler was published in Denmark during the war under the noses of the German occupiers. Izaak Walton published his book in 1653 in similar circumstances during the English Commonwealth after the Civil War and Danish patriots were inspired to do the same. I've sent a copy of my book to the Danish Angling Association and in fraternity they've invited me to Denmark to wet a line.
Old Izaak would be pleased.
Do get in touch if you want a copy @lenmarkham@hotmail.com
