The greater sand eel -- The striped assassin -- The water wolf -- A never-ending golden sun -- The fish everyone hates -- The great game -- Coming home
Growing up on the Cambridgeshire Fens, Will Millard never felt more at home than when he was out with his grandad on a riverbank, catching fish. As he grew older, a distance grew between him, his grandfather and the rivers of his home.
Then one day a record-breaking sand eel slipped through his fingers and he caught a glimpse of the magic he had lost. In The Old Man and the Sand Eel, Will seeks to rediscover what his late grandfather tried to teach him about fishing, rivers, nature and our precarious relationship with all three.
