First published in 1882 the book tells, in an engaging humorous and deadpan style, the adventures of three friends who set out to fish and shoot through one long summer, travelling by canoe and camping along the way. This amusing party make light of the rigours of outdoor life in Norway and enjoy every minute of their idyllic tour. Pristine lakes full of big eager trout, which have never seen an artificial fly, heather hills rich with ptarmigan and deer, the sturdy characters among the Norwegian country folk they encounter, all are described with a freshness and verve which are irresistible. A typical sentence from the book: It continued raining in a nice keep-at-it-all-day-if-you-like kind of manner, so we resided in the tent and read, and indulged in whisky and water for lunch to counteract any ill effects of the reading; for some it was poetry.

With an introduction by angling writer Jon Beer, who together with two friends recently retraced the steps of the intrepid three.

Our binders came across some superb ice-blue goatskin which we felt was especially appropriate for this edition. The first fifty copies have been beautifully bound in this natural goatskin with silver-gilt top edge and hand-marbled end papers. Further copies will be bound in the same colour and format,  but in the high-quality bonded leather used in all previous Flyfisher's Classic Library editions. Either binding will make a fantastic addition to your Flyfisher's Classic Library collection.

320 pages - Colour fold-out map and 59 black and white wood engravings - Fully bound in ice-blue goatskin - Marbled endpapers - Silver-gilt top edge - Silk marker ribbon - Slipcase - Edition limited to 350 individually numbered copies.

The last edition sold out immediately on publication. In keeping with Coch-y-Bonddu Books' policy of making classic angling books readily available, we have issued a new FFCL edition, limited to 350 copies.

There is also a cheaper "reading edition"; a beautiful high-quality paperback, at £19.95.
