"Le Petit Nord" by Anne Grenfell and Katie Spalding is a memoir or narrative account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the experiences of a missionary in Labrador, particularly focusing on her time at an orphanage in a remote northern community. The central character, likely the author herself, shares her vivid observations and challenges as she interacts with the children in her care and navigates the complexities of life in such a harsh environment. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the author's journey to Labrador, detailing her initial thoughts and experiences as she embarks on her mission. She describes her voyage from England, the delays she encounters, and her first impressions upon landing in Newfoundland. The author reflects on the rugged landscape, the unique culture of the local people, and the hardships they endure. As she settles into her role at the orphanage, the reader begins to glimpse the charm and difficulties of caring for the children, each with their own backgrounds and challenges, setting the stage for the poignant and often humorous stories that will unfold throughout the narrative.
