Browne, Gordon 1858 1932 Browne, Gordon Frederick In the Land of the Great Snow Bear: A Tale of Love and Heroism Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "In the Land of the Great Snow Bear: A Tale of Love and Heroism" by Gordon Stables is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Claude Alwyn, a young boy living at Dunallan Towers, as he grows up in a picturesque Highland setting, exploring themes of love, adventure, and the supernatural bonds one can have with nature, particularly through his connection to a snow-white gull. The narrative seems enriched with a sense of nostalgia and an exploration of the challenges faced by the characters both romantically and in the harsh wilderness. The opening of the tale introduces us to Dunallan Towers and its inhabitants, particularly young Claude Alwyn and his mother, Lady Alwyn. It paints a somber yet enchanting picture of their life, detailing the joy of Claude’s birth and the surrounding community's reactions, and hints at tragic foreshadowing with the impending demise of Lord Alwyn. As the story unfolds, readers are introduced to the bond between Claude and a snow-bird that became a loyal companion during his childhood adventures. The narrative blends elements of nature and mysticism, setting the stage for Claude’s formative years and the adventures that lie ahead, enriched by the deeper emotional layers woven through his relationships with family, friends, and the landscape around him.
