When in October 1990 at the age of eighty-five BB (Denys Watkins-Pitchford) died, he was generally recognized as the grand old man of English countryside writing. He wrote about travel, fishing, and wildlife, both from a shooting man's point of view and increasingly as a dedicated conservationist. BB the writer and professional artist is well-known, but less well-known is BB the man.
Not a biography, BB Remembered is an impressionistic portrait of BB's own memories of his life as well as memories of some of those who knew him.
