| Summary | "Labrador Days" by Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell is a collection of tales focused on the fishermen and communities of Labrador, written in the early 20th century. The stories illuminate the everyday struggles and adventures of the people living in this challenging environment, often highlighting themes of resilience, community, and the connection with nature. Key characters include the hardy fishermen, their families, and the narrative includes the experiences of Grenfell himself, who serves as a doctor in this region. At the start of the collection, the narrative delves into the tense situation faced by fishermen John Mitchell and his crew as they set out to gather firewood from the bay amidst shifting winter ice. As winds shift and a squall hits, their small boat capsizes, leaving them adrift in icy waters. The tension escalates as they try to survive against the elements, with John taking courageous steps to keep the younger crew members safe. This opening not only sets the stage for the harsh realities of life on the sea but also introduces the strong bonds and responsibilities shared among the community members, all while Grenfell paints a vivid picture of the natural landscape surrounding them.
