Mr. Crabtree Goes Digital! Welcome to the first EVER digital edition of Mr. Crabtree Goes Fishing. Optimised for Kindle Fire and Android and iPad Kindle Apps, this ebook is best viewed in colour to appreciate the true beauty of Bernard Venables' paintings. If you’re an angler of a ‘certain age’ you’ll already know all about Mr. Crabtree. Maybe you were one of the 3 million proud owners of the original book Mr. Crabtree Goes Fishing, by legendary angler Bernard Venables? It’s very likely that you refer to ‘Crabtree swims’, that you know what a ‘gentle’ is and that the idea of fishing in a tweed three-piece-suit doesn’t really seem that odd to you. Congratulations you’re a Crabtree kid!Fishing in the Footsteps of Mr. Crabtree is what we’re all about – and our book and TV series of the same name are the first steps we’ve taken to illustrate this. We hope you’ll join us on our quest to bring Mr. Crabtree to a new generation of anglers, to share our love of fishing for all species, and to help us spread the word. We are part of a wonderfully diverse community, united by a shared passion. Let’s celebrate that together!
