It is a timeless tale that has captivated generations of readers, and it continues to be a beloved classic today.A yell from Wally intimated that he had something on his hook, and with immense pride he flourished in the air a diminutive blackfish--so small that the Hermit proposed to use it for bait, a suggestion promptly declined by the captor, who hid his catch securely in the fork of two branches, before re-baiting his hook. Then Harry pulled out a fine perch, and immediately afterwards Norah caught a blackfish; and after that the fun waxed fast and furious, the fish biting splendidly, and all hands being kept busy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
