Tales of Swordfish and Tuna by Zane Grey

Tales of Swordfish and Tuna Reviews

Tales of Swordfish and Tuna is a new collection of Grey's saltwater-fishing adventures. They are well worth reading for pleasure and instruction. Just as he invented the Western, Grey also pioneered sporting fishing for the large ocean species of game fish. Praise for Zane Grey on Fishing: Zane Grey on Fishing offers some of the author's best writing: don't let this one get away!--Library Journal The book is a selection of some of Grey's best work, and the stories and excerpts reveal a man who understood that angling is more than an activity. It is a lifestyle.--Great Lakes Boating What has virtually remained hidden behind his conventional formulalike books in the Western genre is that Grey's best writing came when he wrote about angling. Here he was free to blend his talent for narrative and sense of humour. --Atlantic Salmon Journal Of course, the big daddy of far-flung fishing is Zane Grey. This is an excellent...reader for those who may want to dip into his truly fabulous fishing life. --Gray's Sporting Journal -- E. W. Smethurst Jr., The Chicago Tribune

About Zane Grey

Zane Grey was born in Zanesville, Ohio in 1872. He attended the University of Pennsylvania on a baseball scholarship where he became a dentist. However, his heart was not in dentistry, it was in writing. In 1905 he married Lina Roth. They had three children, and eventually moved to California where Zane could both experience the West and write about it. He was one of America's most prolific authors, writing almost 90 books. He died of heart failure in 1939 in Altadena, California.
