A Handful of Pleasant Delights

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Extracts from The Compleat Angler by IZAAK WALTON adapted by ROBERT RALPH
Read by Michael Hordern
'No life so happy and so pleasant as the life of a well-governed angler; for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the statesman is preventing or contriving plots, then we sit on cowslip-banks, hear the birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much quietness as the silent silver stream, gliding so quietly by us.'
Music by TERRY DAVIS played by ROBIN JEFFREY
(theorbo/baroque guitar) and sung by DAVID HITCHEN Directed by GRAHAM GAULD
