Fishing with Gubby. Kim La Fave (Illustrator), Gary Kent (author), Harbour Publishing, Madiera Park, B.C., Canada, 2010. First Edition. Signed without inscription on title page by both author and artist. 4to up to 12" tall. 48 pages. Glossy hard cover boards, graphically mapped endpapers, graphic illustrations throughout. In mint condition.
Fishing with Gubby is the marvellously illustrated, authentic account of one season in the life of a salmon fisherman. Gubby's journey first takes him up BC's west coast, through Georgia, Johnstone and Queen Charlotte straits and north past Port Hardy. He then heads into the open ocean towards treacherous Cape Scott, through to Winter Harbour and Quatsino Sound to settle in for a summer of fishing. Gubby and Puss face rolling rapids, rough and tumble storms and banks of fog, tussle with a basking shark and a pod of orcas, all while trolling for spring and coho salmon and visiting other fishermen and homesteaders along the way. Part graphic novel and part ocean adventure story in the style of Raymond Briggs
