An evocative account of nineteenth-century Scandinavian travel and angling by the Reverend Henry Newland, offering a glimpse into the rivers, forests, landscapes, and fishing traditions of Norway and Sweden during the Victorian era.
Forest Life belongs to that appealing tradition of early sporting travel literature in which fishing, natural history, and observations of local life are woven together. Newland's narrative reflects a period when British anglers were increasingly drawn to the rivers and wilderness of Scandinavia, long before modern sporting tourism transformed many of these waters.
This is the second edition, published in 1855, comprising 418 pages with black-and-white illustrations, in a small octavo hardcover format.
A charming and historically interesting work, particularly appealing to collectors of early Scandinavian angling literature and Victorian sporting books.
Discover further works of early sporting and fly-fishing literature in our collection of rare and vintage angling books , including historic accounts of fishing, natural history, and the traditions of the sporting world.
