246 Pages. Complete and Unabridged. Dr. Grenfell's work among the Labrador fishermen is one of the stories of the generation. The courage and unselfishness of this self-devoted missionary have quickened pulses and stirred spirits the world over. His life is his most thrilling tale. But he has also written stories of his experiences which have been published in a volume called Tales of the Labrador. These stories picture the lives of simple, hardy fishermen and their Esquimo neighbors, their hard fight with an always hostile nature, and the traits of sturdiness, honesty and self-sacrifice which their stern life develops. As a picture of life in a little-known part of the world the book is interesting; as it reveals the author's lore for and loyalty to the people, it commands sympathy. It lacks the deep insight essential to great literature. Neither in style nor language does it denote the writer of mark. It is, however, so very readable and human that it cannot fail to find a hearty welcome among Dr. Grenfell's many admirers. –The Survey, Vol. 37 [1917]
