"[The author] was a writer of real quality, and in "Where the bright waters meet" he produced an outstanding angling autobiography, which is quite rightly regarded as a classic of the chalk-streams. ...In this book, as well as paying homage to the Bourne, he wrote chapters on Blagdon, the Test and the Kennet, and while he lays down no definite instructions, he brings us to his side while he is fishing, and leaves us to find out his true quality from watching him at work." (Howard Marshall in his introduction to the 1969 edition). This new edition is based on the Excellent Press / Miriam Macgregor edition, though the text was newly reset from the 1936 edition. It includes new wood engravings and a handsome colour dust-wrapper by Miriam Macgregor.
