Foreword by Robin Bruce Lockhart
?The pick of the bunch is My Rod My Comfort, by the sometime diplomat, banker, author, journalist and angler, Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart. Famous names and mysterious places pepper the text, leading the reader on. This reprint of the 1949 original comes fully leather bound and cased with stunning woodcuts by Gaastra ? and is a treat ?? Brian Clarke (The Times, December ?99).
Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart was a man of two worlds; and within those two worlds he knew almost everybody worth knowing. He began his political career as a diplomat in Moscow in 1911 and rose to fame there when he was the British representative or ?agent? in 1918. He met Lenin and came to know Trotsky well. His other world was that of journalism. He was a prolific writer, producing fourteen books, including Memoirs of a British Agent, which was made into a film.
He wrote My Rod My Comfort in the summer of 1948 and it appeared the following spring in a small expensive edition. The second edition was published in 1957, identical in content, but less expensive and with the addition of a Preface in which he says: ?Of all my books it is my favourite ? the book contains all that I think and feel about angling as a way of life.?
Lockhart's career allowed him to range the streams, rivers and lakes of Russia, Central Europe, the Balkans and even Malaya as well as Britain. The book describes his fishing for trout, salmon and sea trout in these varied locations. He began his career dapping for trout in the mountain burns of Strathspey and it is to Scotland that he returns from choice.
Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart's son, Robin, has written a Foreword for our edition. He tells of the enjoyable hours spent fishing with his father, and their favourite lochs and rivers.
