A great chemist laid down his instruments to write about trout. In the manner of old angling dialogues, Humphry Davy sends his companions fishing at Denham on a May morning in 1810, weaving natural history and quiet wisdom between the casts. A gentle, learned favorite of the riverbank. Spend a few unhurried days fishing in fine company.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
