From a lonely Bechuanaland ranch on the banks of the Limpopo River where Charles Stuart catches his first fish at the age of five this book takes us on a voyage around the world. Spear fishing in the Caribbean, scuba diving in the Red Sea, diving for Omayyad antiquities in the Mediterranean and on through a treasure chest of fisherman's tales from Scotland's Findhorn river to Canada's mighty Yukon.

Edited by Charles's eldest son this is a compilation of stories and memoirs mainly taken from lengthy recordings of Charles's life. With more than 110 photographs this is also a pictorial journey of a life dedicated to fishing and the enjoyment of water in all its mediums - oceans, rivers and lakes. (Ed.4)
