LANDSCAPE WITH SOLITARY FIGURE. By Colin Willock. Illustrated by Brian Walker.

(1966) 1980 2nd edition. 8vo (145 x 223mm). Pp227. B/w illustrations by Brian Walker. Green boards, spine titled in gilt.

Muzzle-loading and punt-gunning, fishing in Ireland and Scandinavia, pigeon-shooting with Archie Coats. "The landscape of the title ranges from suburban Surrey to barren Lapland, from the reedy ponds of Windsor Great Park to mighty Lake Victoria, from the narrow valleys of Devon to the windswept mudflats of the Wash. They are all places where, by learning the landscape as a hunter and angler, Colin Willock has made himself a part of it. Often he has been solitary, not because he is a hermit or a misanthrope, but because it is alone in a landscape that he has spent, as he puts it, 'the moments I will most grudge the grave'."
