Traditional angling for wild carp is about adventure, history, atmosphere and emotion. 'Wild Carp' captures this as it describes Fennel's quest to find a very special type of fish. But it’s also about his desire to uncover the seemingly impossible – a place where he can find and live out his dreams. The book was written over a twenty-year period, beginning with Fennel as a young teenager, about to discover the world’s broader horizon, and concluding with him finding one of the UK's oldest strains of carp at a place that's so remote as to be ‘timeless beyond beauty’.
Fennel’s Journal is the heartfelt and entertaining account of one man’s search for an old-fashioned and peaceful rural life. Written by eccentric English countryman Fennel Hudson, the Journal traces his attempts to balance the pressures of modern living by following the mantra of ‘Stop – Unplug – Escape – Enjoy’.
Brought to life by a mixture of thought-provoking and humorous incidents, Fennel’s writing is deeply personal, self-effacing, and honest. As one reader commented, “Fennel is the only author who can make me laugh out loud and cry in the same sentence. His Journal had me constantly in tears, for all the right reasons”.
