FISHERMAN'S LUCK

by Jean Gould ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 28, 1954

Turning from biography (see works on Thackeray and Jane Austen), Jean Gould tells a story of fishing on Lake Erie and the truth behind an undermining streak of bad luck. Taken on as helper by old Mr. Simon, a harum-scarum young Barney Brewster soon sobers and thrills to fishing near his small town home. The lake comes alive as Barney and Mr. Simon work its waters- as does the character of the whole industry when they are warned that their bad luck will reflect on the other fishermen, and as they discover the gang of fish gypsies who have been robbing them. Qualities of mood and setting recommend this.
