D. Cumming is a collection of fables and stories written in the early 20th century. The work draws upon the local history and culture of British Columbia, particularly through a lens that emphasizes folklore and the human experience in the region's landscapes. The book likely combines humor and insight to reflect on the lives and trials of various characters within these tales. The opening portion introduces readers to a few key stories and characters, beginning with a man from Bruce County who feels trapped in his mundane existence and embarks on a journey for more out of life. His longing for adventure leads him to British Columbia, where he finds both opportunity and a longing for his wife. This initial narrative explores themes of restlessness and the contrast between satisfaction and ambition, hinting at deeper explorations of local life, personal aspirations, and the significance of relationships. The opening establishes a colorful, humorous style that suggests a series of moral or philosophical lessons delivered through engaging tales of everyday people and their connections to their surroundings.
