| Summary | "Michael Penguyne; Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast" by William H. G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the life of Michael Penguyne, a young fisherman growing up in Cornwall alongside his father Paul Trefusis, who imparts wisdom on resilience and faith amidst the struggles of their coastal life. The story explores themes of loss, survival, and community, highlighting the hardships faced by fisherfolk, including the dangers of the sea and the moral lessons that shape Michael's character. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Michael and his father as they navigate the challenges of fishing on the tumultuous Cornish waters. The opening chapter reveals their strong bond, with Paul intending to tell Michael about his true parentage—a connection to a friend who perished at sea, highlighting the themes of family and duty. As they prepare their fishing boat "Wild Duck" for another day at sea, Michael learns about the will of God and the importance of caring for one another, setting the stage for the trials they are about to face. Meanwhile, the stormy weather foreshadows impending challenges, particularly regarding Paul's health and the dangers present in their volatile seaside existence.
