JOKES FOR ANGLERS
STREAM LINES, Verses and Stories by Ilan Mackay. Illustrations by L. C. Mitchell. Printed by Hereford Printing Co. INCE anglers, like Aberdonians, belong to that rare class of mortal which enjoys best a joke told against itself, a book of angling humour is always sure of a good public The lay public enjoys it- being confirmed in its wisdom in remaining the lay publicand the anglers, looking beyond the emotion to the tranquillity from which it was recollected, are more than satisfied to remain not quite as other men are. Stream Lines, a booklet of verses and. stories by Ian Mackay, and _ illustrated by L. C, Mitchell, is that. kind of publication, and about the best of its kind that has been produced yet in New Zealand. It is no discredit to the text to say that the drawings are the best part of the booklet, for the artist (who must also be an angler) has contributed a score of drawings which are in every way as good as those with which he recently celebrated the disbanding of the Home Guard. A copy (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) passed on to an angling acquaintance now might well lead to a fish (or maybe two) when next season comes round.
