Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anton the Fisherman
Of field-land, where Anton in adverse years raised not only enough corn and potatoes for himself and family, but also for the enclosed inmates of stall and farm-yard, and, when the season was good, sold the surplus for bright, ready money. And besides these, had he not his boat, his nets, and Father Rhine with his fishes? Which none knew better than he how to entice. And beyond all, did he not dwell in a wondrously lovely country? One more charming could scarcely be found in all Germany. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
