Books by Ted Leeson
“It’s a collection of essays that are fuelled by curiosity, both about fishing itself and about the natural world. Most are centred around a particular occasion, a particular day in, on, or beside the water. First and foremost, Leeson is a fabulous writer of landscape, of the intimate, intricate experience of being in a place. This book, I think, is the equal of any nature writing in print. It really ought to be better known.” Read more...
