The Longshoreman by Richard Shelton
For anyone who loved William Fiennes' The Snow Geese, a beautiful, dazzlingly original memoir that combines autobiography with natural history.
'A magical life on the longshore alive with natural history but with a stern warning concerning all our futures' David Bellamy 'Richard Shelton, not unlike some Victorian naturalists, has successfully combined a delightful autobiography with a scientific history of fishing. He describes an entire world with great charm.' Ronald Blythe, author of Akenfield ' When I first urged Richard Shelton to write his naturalist's memoir, I never expected him to produce a classic. But he has.' Redmond O'Hanlon, author of Trawler
Richard Shelton headed the Freshwater Fisheries Laboratory at Pitlochry from 1982 to 2001. He is currently Research Director of the Atlantic Salmon Trust. He lives in Perthshire. The Longshoreman is his first book.
