"The red feathers: A story of remarkable adventures when the world was young" by Theodore Goodridge Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a mythic, prehistoric Newfoundland, the story blends adventure, legend, and elements of indigenous folklore. It follows the Beothic hunter Run-all-day, his family, and magical figures such as Wise-as-a-she-wolf, focusing on a pair of enchanted red feathers and the rivalry between magicians. The narrative combines everyday life, survival, and the supernatural, immersing readers in a world where gods, spirits, and magic are interwoven with clan and family life. The opening of this novel establishes a rich, atmospheric setting in ancient Newfoundland, introducing Run-all-day, his close-knit family, and their seasonal rhythms of hunting, fishing, and preparing for winter. The arrival of the kind but powerful magician Wise-as-a-she-wolf brings magic into their lives in the form of two mysterious red feathers, gifted to Run-all-day's newborn son. As Run-all-day and his family grapple with the implications and dangers of possessing magical objects, ominous threats—especially the villainous magician Bright Robe—arise, fueling conflicts both mundane and supernatural. Early chapters deftly mix daily life and mythic adventure, setting the stage for epic journeys, magical contests, and acts of courage and cunning. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
