Inscriptions in old Angling books

[Fredline]

I couldn't resist showing this little bird book for 2 reasons. C.R.P. Hodgson is Roger Hodgson the lead singer/guitarist/keyboards of Supertramp. I had an email from his sister who told me that the address is the school he attended and was written by his mum.

A couple of belated contributions from my bookshelf..





Bill and Malcom were clearly good friends…
What a fine gift for that Christmas of 1933..


…But what intrigue is this!





I wonder… just who were Annie and Jeannie Stewart,
..the charming friends of the author?

-and what happy memories did their names evoke?

There are some lovely inscriptions above gents...
just read through them all again.
At last I had a bit of time on my hands today.

One of my prized possessions is a book written by one of my favourite authors and sent by his publisher to a another favourite author Bernard Venables…when I read it I imagined Bernard turning those same pages…
Interestingly it was published on 6th June 1958 exactly five years to the day before I was born….
