520 _a"Days of the Discoverers" by Louise Lamprey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative delves into the journeys and explorations of various figures during the Age of Discovery, showcasing events and characters that played pivotal roles in uncovering new lands and cultures. The book highlights not only the excitement of discovery but also the challenges and personal stories of those involved. The opening of the book introduces a young boy named Thorolf Erlandsson who finds himself in a deserted village in Norway, decimated by the Black Death. Left alone after losing his family, Thorolf's purpose shifts to caring for his family's cattle, which he decides to drive to a safer summer pasture. Along his journey, he encounters Nils, another orphan, who informs him about a Finnish woman named Mother Elle, who is taking a group of children into the mountains for safety. Together, they navigate the desolate landscape and find a group of children listening to stories, where the remnants of Norse mythology and community spirit come together, setting a poignant backdrop for the theme of survival amidst adversity.
