MeetHarry Plunket Greene Hardcover, 224pgs, 234x152mm 2006 R310.00 Hundreds of books about trout fishing have been published but only a handful survive for long after their first appearance.

Among these, the everlasting volumes which live from one generation of anglers to the next, the most entertaining is "Where the Bright Waters Meet" by Harry Plunket Greene, first published in 1924. Harry was a rare character from an Anglo Irish family. Six feet seven inches tall with a commanding presence, he was once a professional singer on the concert hall stage in the days before microphones and the cinema. He knew all about holding and delighting an audience and these skills he brings to the magic pages of his book, a wonderful mixture of humour, passion for nature and love of sport which rivals the idyllic descriptions of Izaak Walton himself.
