The Compleat Tangler by Norman Thelwell
What do fishermen really get up to when they abandon a warm bed before the crack of dawn, stuff a haversack with maggots and a folded campstool and disappear into the drizzle? Millions of wives wish they knew the answer. It became clear to Thelwell that some sort of enquiry should be made into the strange rituals of the cult, and its secrets exposed to the public gaze. After years of crawling through wet grass and conducting lonely vigils in distant torrents, he here presents his report.
Since their debut appearance in Punch over forty years ago, Norman Thelwell's cartoons and drawings have delighted millions of people all over the world. His portrayals of sporting pursuits, human beings at play, the life of the countryside and, of course, ponies, are the products of a unique comic genius. To celebrate the life of this best-loved British cartoonist, Methuen is re-publishing a number of classic Thelwell titles, including his invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians in Angels on Horseback, and A Leg at Each Corner. Norman Thelwell died in February 2004.
