Feats on the Fiord
Produced by Al Haines
"Feats on the Fiord" by Harriet Martineau is a children's romance written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Norway's stunning fjords, the story intertwines themes of local superstition with the adventures of the young protagonist, Oddo, a boy brimming with curiosity and bravery. In this tale, readers will explore the mystical charm of the landscape alongside the lives and beliefs of its inhabitants. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the magical yet chilling elements of Norway’s fjords as the story unfolds during a betrothal celebration in a farmer's house. Oddo, the energetic herd-boy, is excitedly caught up in the demeanor of the evening, where laughter and music fill the air amidst the pervasive superstitions that linger in the minds of the characters. We learn about the protagonist's interactions with Erica, a maid burdened by the shadows of loss and superstition, while hints of tension emerge with the presence of Hund, whose ambition contrasts with the joy of the celebrations. The opening sets a tone filled with mystique, community, and the vibrant life of the Northern landscape, suggesting that the story will delve deeper into adventure and the interplay of fear and courage among its characters.
