In spring 1973, Michael Brown, a young freelance travel writer, took a phone call from a friend: 'Why don't you come down to Somerset and see these things called elvers -- they migrate up river at night on the high tides and the locals fish for them. It's called elvering.' And so began a lifetime's career, full of ups and downs, as a self-employed eel fisherman. A heart-warming tale of running a small business on a shoe-string; and a passion for eels which has never faded.

Autorenporträt
Michael Brown was working in the Marketing Department of ICI in London, but soon found himself diverted wholly by eels. He moved to the West Country where he fished for them, then smoked them and eventually set up Brown & Forrest, a successful smokery and restaurant. He still lives in Somerset.
