Bøker av Tom Fort

Tom Fort, former angling correspondent for the Financial Times, is one of the most incisive and funny fishing writers in Britain today.This sparkling collection of his writings finds Tom at Ceausescu's bear-hunting lodge in Romania, at a fishing auction in the Home Counties, being thwarted by a bunch of hard-mouthed Brazilian dourado, on a press freebie in Scotland and in a terrible state on the Kennet - not to mention conducting a fantasy celebrity interview with Isaak Walton himself.Whether fishing in some exotic far-flung location, or simply leaning over the parapet of an English bridge gazing at the stream below, Tom Fort always manages in his stylish and witty way to pinpoint something important with which all anglers can identify.

The story of one of the country's most loved - and loathed - roads.

It was along and by these rivers that Fort travelled around Eastern Europe meeting its people and immersing himself in its culture. Since that trip though, much has changed and in more recent years around one million Poles have settled in Britain.

Grass and its organisation into lawns is a particularly English obsession.

Contains two interlocking strands: the story of those who sought to know and understand our weather; and the story of its impact on us - our history, our culture, the way we think and behave. This work focuses on the people who volunteered and toiled for the cause, telling their stories by tracking them down to the places.

Ahumorous, discursive, utterly absorbing journey from Dover to Land's End, along the English Channel shore, the busiest waterway in the world
