Table Of ContentHere are John Taintor Foote's three classic - and irresistible - stories about that notorious fly-fishing addict, George Baldwin Potter: "A Wedding Gift," "Fatal Gesture," and "Daughter of Delilah." In the title story, Potter, at forty, marries a charming young woman. Always unable to believe that others are not as interested in dry-fly fishing as he is, for their honeymoon he takes her (and his prized Spinoza fly rod) to the backwoods of Maine. What follows, in this and the other stories, is marital and fishing mayhem - and perhaps disaster. Timothy Foote, John Taintor Foote's son, has added to his collection an unpublished story of his own, "The Lock Ness Monster," about George Baldwin Potter's son - and a life almost blasted by fly fishing. In all, this collection of three classic stories, the special introductions to each (which give some hitherto unknown details about the author's marriage and life, as they relate to the stories), and the next-generation story by Timothy Foote make a unique and perfectly delightful book. The charm of the little volume is enhanced by the decorative drawings by Gordon Allen. (53/4 X 81/2, 132 pages, illustrations)
