The book is a collection of humorous essays and anecdotes that revolve around the author’s experiences and observations in his garden and while fishing. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the author’s garden and the second part on his experiences as an angler. In the first part, Burnand shares his musings on various topics related to gardening, including the joys and challenges of planting and cultivating different types of flowers and vegetables, the importance of proper soil preparation, and the pleasure of simply spending time in the garden.

He shares his experiences of trying to catch fish, often with humorous results, and reflects on the pleasure of being out in nature and away from the stresses of daily life. Throughout the book, Burnand’s witty and charming writing style is on full display, making Round About My Garden, Occasional Happy Thoughts, Part 2: The Incomplete Angler a delightful read for anyone who enjoys gardening or fishing, or simply appreciates a good laugh.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
