520 _a"How joy was found" by Isobel Wylie Hutchison is an allegorical fantasy play written in the early 20th century. Drawing on a Scottish folk-tale, it personifies inner qualities—Humanity, Duty, Obedience, Constancy, Faith, Love, Hope, and Truth—guided by a radiant “Big Young Hero,” in a spiritual quest to protect a child and recover Joy. The focus is a pilgrimage of faith and perception, with Finn (Humanity) learning to trust the vision and aid of his companions. The opening of the work sets its mythic frame on a paradisal isle where the Big Young Hero welcomes the Climber (Faith) and summons shadow-figures who become Finn’s helpers: the Carpenter (Duty), Tracker (Obedience), Gripper (Constancy), Thief (Love), Listener (Hope), and Marksman (Truth). In Argyll, the Hero binds Finn to keep His children, and Finn assembles this company, launching in a magic boat. They reach the Earth-Mother’s house, where a midnight Hand steals a baby after Finn dozes and blames others; the party splits, a storm nearly wrecks the boat, and a life-line cast by Faith brings rescue and steadies the helm. The action moves to the Giant’s eel-thatched castle: Faith opens a hidden brow-door by prayer and descends with Love to recover the child (and a puppy), but the Hand seizes her; Finn, chastened, admits his lies to Truth and follows her inside, as Faith confesses her own errors—the narrative breaking off at this crisis.
