Davin Ardlie’s fantastic new book The Morton Smuggler is now available at his website. It’s a sweeping saga about love, loyalty and growing up:
Rupert Johnson’s path to an independent mind was always going to be unconventional. It was planned that way. But he wasn’t supposed to go alone. Rupert is destined to learn the hard way.
India. Scotland. Australia. Tunisia. His letter-writing and his fishing are the only constants, beyond independence. Above all else he dreams of the day he can lay claim to a Morton Smuggler, the world’s most elusive fly fishing reel. The Morton Smuggler cannot be purchased; it can only
be earned.
Against the hard lessons from wartime tragedy, stubborn nostalgia and the many injustices of existence, Rupert creeps towards an understanding of the things in life that can be felt but never seen.
Towards a Morton Smuggler.
Dav sent me a copy the other day, and the packaging made receiving it rather special: a good strong mailer, two nicely designed stickers and a tartan band, plus the address label. So order one today and reward an author willing to put effort into presentation as well as content.
