"Grenfell: Knight-Errant of the North" by Fullerton L. Waldo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and adventures of Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, a devoted sea doctor who dedicated himself to improving the health and wellbeing of fishermen and their families along the treacherous coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland. It captures his challenges and triumphs, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by those living in these remote regions. The opening of the narrative introduces us to a young Wilfred Grenfell watching a storm at sea, filled with concern for his friend, Jim. This setting establishes early themes of bravery, adventure, and the struggle against nature's cruelty, as Grenfell's journey begins with personal loss and grows into a lifelong commitment to service. We see glimpses of his adventurous spirit, as he frequently immerses himself in nature, and the impact of his formative experiences as he navigates his childhood and early medical career, laying the groundwork for his future exploits as a healer among the fishermen.
