| Summary | "The Clammer and the Submarine" by William John Hopkins is a juvenile novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of World War I and centers around the life of Adam, a clam digger, and his interactions with his family, particularly his wife Eve and their children. The narrative reflects Adam's thoughts on war, peace, and the idyllic life he wishes to maintain despite the tumultuous times. The opening of the novel introduces Adam as he sits under a great pine tree, contemplating the beauty of his surroundings while simultaneously grappling with his thoughts on the war. His musings reveal a man caught between his peaceful domestic life and the distant yet looming presence of conflict. The serene setting hints at his simple, rural lifestyle, which is contrasted by the encroaching realities of the war and how it impacts even the most civilian of lives. The arrival of his wife Eve and their daughter Tidda further grounds Adam in familial concerns, as he reflects on the duties of fatherhood and the uncertainty of the times, framing their everyday life amid the backdrop of global conflict.
