“There was an old brick-pond down the ? that was a famous place for frogs, and sometimes I would see all round the edge scores of black and flattened frogs, and wonder at the strange thing and what it meant. Some of the old superstitious dwellers of the? would tell us that it was the fairies who came and squeezed all the juice from those frogs, and that if any little frogs were found after these visits hopping amongst the blackened remains, and were taken home and given to the tiny infants suffering the worst kind of thrush, and sucked to death by them, that child would surely recover and live.”

Which famous angler wrote these words?
