PREFACE BY VAN SICLEN, 1875.
WONDERFUL BOOK ON HISTORY OF FLY FISHING- ANGLING. ONE OF THE FIRST AUTHORS TO WRITE ABOUT THESE TOPICS.
GREAT COLLECTOR ITEM.
Though so little is known about her biography, and her claim to the authorship of The Boke of Saint Albans cannot be absolutely verified, numerous women's fly-fishing clubs in Europe and the United States are named for Berners. She is remembered as one of the first authors (of either gender) to write on hunting and angling.
Juliana Berners, O.S.B., (or Barnes or Bernes) (born 1388), English writer on heraldry, hawking and hunting, is said to have been prioress of the Priory of St Mary of Sopwell, near St Albans in Hertfordshire.
