ARTHUR RANSOME'S ROD & LINE

Arthur Ransome, author of the internationally successful Swallows and Amazons series, wrote Rod & Line as a compelling tribute to a favourite preoccupation. The late Michael Hordern faithfully reads extracts from the book and conveys the humour and passion of the author as he fishes in a variety of idyllic rural locations. Michael's breathless excitement in moments of triumph makes particularly gripping viewing.

Accompanied by delightful music from piano and cello, this DVD will have enduring appeal not just to fishing enthusiasts but also to those who love the outdoors or have a literary leaning.

An enchanting production.
