Summary "Snowflakes and Sunbeams; Or, The Young Fur-traders: A Tale of the Far North" by R. M. Ballantyne is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set in the rugged and icy wilderness of North America, particularly focusing on the Red River Settlement, where fur trading is the primary livelihood. The narrative revolves around Charley Kennedy, a spirited young boy who rebels against the confines of a sedentary lifestyle in favor of a more adventurous existence in the wild. The opening of the book immerses readers in an Arctic winter, introducing Charley and his sister Kate as they navigate their emotional turmoil regarding their father’s plans for them. Charley longs for adventure while Kate accepts her domestic role. The narrative quickly establishes the Kennedy family's life in the Red River Settlement, characterized by its isolation and the harsh realities of fur trading. Charley’s rebellious nature is highlighted as he expresses his desire to escape the looming responsibility of adulthood, setting the stage for his adventures and mischief in the unforgiving wilderness that awaits him and his companions.
