And Coopey (2010) argues the Ransome, in Rod and Line “produced one of the most evocative and rich texts in the English language”. Granada television produced a series in 1982 starring Michael Hordern in which he read the text over films of his fishing. There is a recording, perhaps the only one of Ransome’s voice, reading from Rod and Line that was broadcast in 1948 on the BBC Third Programme. (en)
