The Seasons and the Fisherman was first published in 1941 as one in a
series of Cambridge children's books related to the natural world. F.
Fraser Darling provides a beautifully written account of the interaction
between humanity and life underwater. This is combined with a large
number of illustrations by the renowned naturalistic artist C. F.
Tunnicliffe. The book has the dual purpose of educating and entertaining
the young reader, a purpose that is achieved through conveying
information in a highly readable, personal style. This is a delightful
account that will enthral readers today, just as it did at the time of
original publication.
