Muriel Foster's Fishing Diary

Rating:
Summary: Fisherwoman
Review: Diaries are diaries. They're often of not much interest to anyone but the author. Muriel Foster kept a diary of her fishing expenditions beginning in 1913. She recorded her catches with infinite detail; her ones-that-got-away with unashamed blank lined pages. And she painted. Tiny, perfect little watercolours that embellish each page - you can get lost in them. Some paintings are entire scenes of buildings near her favourite fishing spots, some are of the spots themselves. Some are just of fish - detailed, eloquent paintings. A perfect diary is one the author thinks no one but themselves will ever read - for it is the diary that is true to itself. Little did Muriel Foster know that long after he demise her diary would be found - it's contents deemed suitable for other eyes to see. A charming, poignant treasure.

Review: I never tire of reading her entries and admiring her ability to capture great vistas and small details in a few pen strokes. A wonderful book that should be back in print.
