Sinossi
A stunning photographic portrait and rich, lucid narrative of the hallowed streams where American fly fishing had its beginnings.
The Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Neversink, Esopus, Schoharie, and Delaware—the rivers of angling pioneers Thaddeus Norris, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, Theodore Gordon, and many others—are celebrated in this gorgeous book of photographs and text. In three major sections, Land of Little Rivers presents historical and physical profiles of the rivers.
Complementing its photographic beauty, Land of Little Rivers is a book of substance, filled with fascinating stories, anecdotes, and nuggety captions. Land of Little Rivers is the product of author Francis’s twenty-five years of research and writing about Catskill fly fishing, and of photographer Ferorelli’s more than thirteen thousand images, from which has been selected the most evocative portfolio of photos ever made of these historic rivers. Together they have produced an exquisite, museum-quality work, one that captures magnificently the beauty and passion so central to the sport Izaak Walton called “the gentle art.”

Hard Cover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. Ferorelli, Enrico (illustratore). First Edition, First Printing. 279 pp. colophon. In deep blue cloth, with silver lettering, and decorative endpapers that are a map of Catskill region rivers. I found it hard to believe that in one book you could capture the entire angler's point of view with a between the covers visit to the region, but this book does it, and gets it right. It includes all you may have wanted to know about its fly fishing, past and present. Broken into three major sections: Rivers, Tackle, and Heritage. A spectacular book that will be impossible to better. A book written with an immense love of the region apparent in the author's heart. Size: Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall.
