QR code
"Bobby of the Labrador" by Dillon Wallace is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around a young boy named Bobby, who, after being found in a derelict boat that carries the body of a man, is adopted by an Eskimo couple, Abel and Mrs. Zachariah. Set against the rugged backdrop of Labrador, the narrative explores themes of survival, adventure, and the bonds of family in the
wild. The opening of the book introduces Abel Zachariah fishing off the coast when he discovers a mysterious, unmanned boat drifting towards him. His excitement quickly turns to horror upon finding the body of a deceased man aboard, yet he also discovers a small boy, later named Bobby, who is alive but feverish. Abel and his wife embrace this unexpected arrival, seeing him as a gift from God. This sets the stage for Bobby’s integration into their lives amid the challenges of the harsh Labrador environment, hinting at the many adventures and transformations he will undergo as he grows up in this new world.
