The book is in memory of Charles Goodspeed (George's father) is the last fishing tale Charles read. This story was first published in 1928 by Saturday Evening Post. Then it became nearly forgotten and Charles Goodspeed did not include it in his 1946 A Treasury of Fishing Stories. George Goodspeed had the story printed and distributed it to a few friends and the letters with it are the responses of three of those friends. The cover is from a design by Rosamond Loring.
