Thelwell's Compleat Tangler Thelwell, Norman: Thelwell's Compleat Tangler
Methuen 1st 1967
8vo, v sl sunning to spine o/w F/F 370 gms
(Order reference 8779).

Why do more men go fishing every weekend in Britain than go to football matches or attend any other sport?

What do they really get up to when they abandon a warm bed before the crack of dawn, stuff a haversack with tins of assorted maggots, half a hundredweight of pulped bread and a folding campstool and disappear into the drizzle? It is estimated that well over one and a half million wives wish they knew the answer,

When Thelwell fell victim to this strange . phenomenon he made a startling discoveryanglers don't know either. It was clearly time that some sort of enquiry was conducted into the strange rituals of the cult .and its secrets exposed to the public gaze.

After years of crawling through wet grass, 'conducting lonely vigils in distant torrents .and extracting needle-sharp hooks from .inaccessible parts of his clothing, Thelwell has at last presented his report.

Compleat Tangler takes the lid off the world of Anglers and Angling. It deals with coarse fishing, game fishing and sea fishing and is designed to show the layman what he's missing, the angling widow what she's up against and the angler why he's so content to spend all his leisure hours with a wellington full of water.

The Brigadier in Season Tinniswood, Peter: The Brigadier in Season
Macmillan 1st 1984
min sunning to sp o/w F/VG++ 330 gms
(Order reference 2312).

It is spring in Witney Scrotum - the swallows have returned to the golf ball museum - and the Brigadier, acerbic narrator of Tales From a Long Room and The Brigadier Down Under, is in reflective mood.

Moving lightly over the horrors of the moving television screen, the British Empire, the glories ofthe 'summer game' and the groundsman's horse, he remembers with fondness - tempered by the occasional burst of outrage - such incidents as the day they discovered the Commodore's gardener was none other than Hermann Goering, the visit of the Holy Father and his fiendish leg tweak, the destruction ofthe Royal College of Umpires and many, many others. The Brigadier's eye is happily undimmed by the passage of years, and the results are hilarious.

The thought of being cooped up in Blandings Castle with Clarence, the Earl of Emsworth, the perennially youthful Galahad and with the Earl's younger son, Freddie Threepwood, openly appalled Colonel Wedge. It was, he grimly asserted, like being wrecked on a desert island with the Marx Brothers.
But the arrival of Tipton Plimsoll at Blandings Castle considerably brightened the Colonel's horizon. For Tipton was a rich young American and rich young Americans were, in the Colonel's opinion, quite the most desirable companions for his daughter, Veronica, the dumbest beauty listed in the pages of Debrett.
The stage was set for a great romance, or so the Colonel thought, and so it might have been had the knowledge of Freddie's erstwhile engagement to Veronica been withheld from the jealous Tipton, or if Prudence, the Earl's niece, had not been forcibly parted from her unsuitable lover, Bill Lister. On such incidents do great issues depend.
However, Uncle Gaily, who combined the ready resource of a confidence trickster with the zeal of a cheerful crusader, intervened with an ingenious scheme to reunite the young lovers. It was a master-plan. How the plot miscarried at the crucial stage and in doing so caused a social and domestic revolution unparalleled in the history of Blandings Castle, is revealed in this most hilarious of chronicles.
