Bright and brilliant collages reflect Clarke's visionary approach to stained glassAn astonishing collection of 327 collages created by British artist Brian Clarke (born 1953), this monograph is a natural companion to his work in stained glass. Beginning with line drawings in white pencil on black paper, Clarke gradually builds an ephemera of hand-painted paper cutouts, similar to those by Matisse, to produce compositions in stunning color.

Brian Clarke's debut collection of sixteen short stories reflects his experiences of life. If "all the world's a stage" then his life reveals a series of plays, sometimes acted and sometimes observed. He explores familiar themes, such as young love lost, the loneliness of emigration, the loss of innocence, the tyranny of power and the struggle for acceptance. Beneath the surface of each scene often lies the hidden pain and suffering but also the courage to confront the situation. Like all theatre, alongside every tragedy sits comedy.

A lifetime's fishing experiences written by one of the UK's leading fly fishermen. Brian Clarke is one of Britain's best-known fly-fishermen ? and one of the world's most widely-read angling authors. His monthly column for 'The Times' has become an institution. His widely-ranging, penetrating and often provocative articles for that newspaper and for 'The Sunday Times' have been required reading for serious fishermen for over 30 years. This collection of 71 articles and new essays distils the author's lifetime experience. The ground he covers is immense: fish and how they behave, tackle and how to choose and use it, flyfishing tactics and strategies, angling history and literature, issues and personalities, environmental threats and the future. The whole book carries the authority of Brian's pioneering work in the sport ? and of his groundbreaking studies of trout behaviour, especially. It is informative, thought-provoking, entertaining and beautifully written. 'On Fishing' will help anyone who fishes for anything to understand more, to think more and to catch more. It will draw even non-anglers down into the world under water ? and to the fascinations that fishermen find there.
