The Incomplete Angler

When Robin was a boy, fishing with his father was an integral and much-loved part of family holidays, but as an adult he fished infrequently, with terrible technique and rare success. Until one day, feeling inspired to supplement the vegetables from his allotment with nature's free bounty, fish, he tentatively decided to try again. Full of dizzy excitement at all the equipment available he embarked on his journey as a born-again angler.
Robin Shelton worked as a jewellery designer and teacher before taking up writing full time. His first book was Allotted Time, a funny account of his year on the allotment. He lives near Southampton.
