  As abundant and layered as the National Pastime itself, The Big Book of Baseball Stories takes the listener on a rich journey that circles the bases of the game's history and literature—its Giants, its dramas, its tragedies, and its laughs—as it rolls through the typewriters of some of the game's mightiest scribes, from Walt Whitman and Mark Twain to Grantland Rice and Ring Lardner, even Abbott and Costello. Rediscover the feats of Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, and Frank Merriwell; bask in the prose of P.G. Wodehouse, Paul Gallico, and Zane Gray; and dive into the very mystery of the meaning of the seventh-inning stretch. 
   
   
   
  If you love baseball, you'll love The Big Book of Baseball Stories. Whitman called baseball "our game . . . America's game." It was then. It still is. The words within these pages invite you to remember why.

  Laurence Catlow is considered one of the finest classical flyfishing writers of our times and here he explores the themes close to an angler's heart:
  
  
  * why catching two trout each time matters so much to him
  
  * the experience of fishing in contrast to a day's shooting
  
  * the melancholy appeal of autumn fishing
  
  * the difference between holiday fishing and home fishing
  
  * the secrets of a flytyer
  
  * starting the season on the river
  
  * big trout or little trout: why he prefers the latter
  
  * why fishing is a lifelong joy
  
  * fishing the mayfly
  'The best flyfishing book to cross my desk this year, without a doubt. Catlow's writing is easily accessible, simple English fused into passages that flow like a chalkstream glide, littered with lines that sit in the memory long after their page has turned.' Trout Fisherman, Jeffrey Prest, 4 January
