Hutton's record of the memories and experiences of his long-time Norwegian fishing guide and companion, Halsten Muri. "A man who has had sixty years' experience of fishing is always worth meeting, and has accumulated a store of knowledge which many would give much to possess. I have often thought that Halsten's numerous anecdotes and experiences would be interesting to many... I have tried as far as possible to put down everything in the very words as I heard it, and I can only hope that those who read this little book may derive as much pleasure as I did in listening to my friend Halsten Muri". Muri learnt excellent English in early childhood and it was in English that he recounted his experiences to Hutton.
