By Joe Prosek Review From Amazon.com James Prosek is angling's wunderkind. A recent Yale graduate, he debuted in 1996 at age 20 with the well-received Trout: An Illustrated History, in which his precocityb with both words and watercolors were charmingly displayed.

What follows is an engaging tale of how much the warden and poacher have to teach each other. Prosek's prose has a few glitches, but he's young and can be forgiven; his watercolors, which run throughout, are a catch in themselves. |

All of this can be discovered within a few hours' travel time. Ms. Ziffer describes the book as, "modest attempt to take a snapshot of Connecticut in the late 1990s so visitors and residents alike can appreciate its uniqueness, for it is the unique qualities of a place that make us want to visit it, know it, care for it and return to it."
