Labrador Days: Tales Of The Sea Toilers is a book written by Wilfred T. Grenfell, a British physician, and missionary who worked in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes about the people who lived and worked in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the Labrador coast.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a series of sketches of the people and communities Grenfell encountered during his travels along the coast. He describes the fishermen, their families, and the challenges they faced in their daily lives, including the dangers of the sea, the harsh weather, and the isolation of their communities.The second part of the book is a collection of stories about the sea toilers of Labrador. Grenfell tells tales of bravery, tragedy, and adventure, recounting the experiences of the men who worked on the fishing boats, the pilots who guided them through treacherous waters, and the men who manned the lighthouses along the coast.Throughout the book, Grenfell's love and respect for the people of Labrador shines through. He portrays them as hardworking, resilient, and resourceful, and he celebrates their unique culture and way of life. Labrador Days: Tales Of The Sea Toilers is a vivid and engaging portrait of a remote and fascinating corner of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
