Anglers can be odd types. Lawyers, bricklayers, bankers and double-glazing salespeople during the week, come the weekend they''re up to their wrists in worms, waiting, hoping, waiting some more, hoping again, losing hope, more waiting... But why? The Daredevil Book for Anglers has the answer. This is a surreal and funny expose of one of the nation''s most popular sports. Sections include: The Art of Waiting (Sitting around on a riverbank for hours and hours, watching a float bobbing about a bit, without going stark raving bonkers); How to Lie ( Caught anything? It''s the question every angler dreads) and Yeah, Course Your Son''s Desperate to Go Fishing with You (Why forcing the boy to learn to fish makes you a bit of a git). The perfect gift for the angler in your life.

Have you ever tried working out what goes on in the mind of a cat? Cats are an enigma within a mystery wrapped up in a glossy coat and curled up by the fire. But The Daredevil Book for Cats is here to spill the beans. Companion volume to The Daredevil Book for Dogs, and no more sensible (that''s a promise).

You probably think your favourite mutt is a beast of little brain, who spends all day in front of the fire getting ready for ''walkies'' and all night dreaming of bones. The Daredevil Book for Dogs is here to set you straight. This is a surreal journey deep into the canine psyche.
