Summary: "The Lucky Piece: A Tale of the North Woods" by Albert Bigelow Paine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of childhood innocence, adventure, and the connections formed between people through moments of kindness. The narrative begins to unfold with a young boy who, on a whim, trades his "lucky piece" for a handful of berries from a little girl he encounters in the North Woods, setting the stage for future interactions that hint at deeper relationships formed over shared experiences and memories. The opening portion of the book introduces the initial exchange between the boy and the girl, encapsulating a moment of innocence and generosity. As the boy reluctantly leaves, he gives the girl a Spanish silver coin, imploring her to keep it safe for him until he returns. This gesture of trust and the promise of a return intertwine their lives, creating a poignant image of longing and hope. The narrative then shifts to a more contemporary scene, following the character Frank Weatherby in a rain-soaked New York as he reflects upon his past adventures in the Adirondacks, revealing his relationship with Constance Deane, who shares his deep-seated affection for nature and idealism. The opening chapters set up a rich exploration of character dynamics, memories, and the enchanting pull of the North Woods as a backdrop for personal growth and connections.
