This collection of Haig-Brown is not necessarily his best works, but all of his books are near impossible to find and the republication of these four books is a godsend to anyone who enjoys reading about a true nature lover!

Ted Leeson's introduction provides a little background on Haig-Brown. As an expert outdoorsperson himself, he was the right choice to do the job!

Every nature lover MUST have Haig-Brown in their collections.

Roderick Haig-Brown is one of the finest fly fishing writers ever to grace a page. The Seasons of a Fisherman is actually a collection of previous literary efforts from Haig-Brown; Fisherman's Spring, Fisherman's Summer, etc. All were classics in their own right, but they are especially significant together. This four cd collection is an abridged version (Four hours and thirty minutes), yet hits the highlights of the original book exceptionally well. Haig-Brown was an Englishman transplanted to Vancouver Island, Canada, and he writes of his adventures casting a fly along the Campbell River. There is something very relaxing about the way Haig-Brown writes, and if you don't have time to read the book (or travel as I do), you'll find the cd version most enjoyable.

This book is written from the personal experiences of a life lived on and in the water. Haig Brown's love of fish is evident. Recommended for lovers of fish and their habitat.
