Ballard, and William Gibson; on the relationship of art and obscenity; and on the shape of music, film, and media generally.

This book is the story of how, while producing an emormous output of news reports, features and books, he managed to achieve his youthful ambition of living as closely as possible, with limited means, the life of a country squire". including sport with Beaverbrook, Sopwith, Mountbatten, Nickerson. .

"This is a 'growth sport', and the anglers would not be human if they did not occasionally resent the flow of newcomers to their favourite waters. But fly-fishing is under attack, not only by those who would, if they could, ban all field sports, but by the developers, the drainage experts, the river-polluters, the old car- and washing-machine depositers, by all the protagonists of our effluent society. .Fly-fishing has changed through the centuries far less than hunting or shooting. We still catch trout very much as Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton caught them. I hope that this description of how the sport was practised in the past, and is practised today, will encourage many to try their hand at it, and thereby become stout and resourceful defenders of our rivers, lakes and streams," (the author). .
