Robins, published by Collins of Toronto, and illustrated by Franklin Carmichael. The book follows two amateur anglers on a fishing trip through Ontario, and its blend of anecdote and observation, rather than instruction or technique, makes it an engaging read for anglers, outdoorsmen, and collectors of sporting literature.  Our volume remains in very good condition, with its original dust jacket and illustrated endpapers depicting a detailed map of Algonquin Provincial Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidely regarded as a Canadian angling classic, Robins’ book received the Governor General’s Award for English-language non-fiction in 1943, and is often described as Canada’s counterpart to “The Compleat Angler” by Izaak Walton.
