| Summary | "The Wolf Trail" by Roger Pocock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book dives into the life of young Bill Fright, a bargee navigating London River, as he grapples with the complexities of his family dynamics, including the influence of his alcoholic father and the haunting presence of his deceased uncle's ghost. The narrative hints at themes of struggle, societal commentary, and supernatural elements, as Bill's life and dreams intertwine with the realities of the world around him. At the start of the story, we meet Bill Fright in his familiar environment at "The Fox under the Hill," a tavern where his uncle Thomas holds court. The chapter paints a vivid picture of the barroom characters, depicting a lively and often somber atmosphere marked by drunken patrons and spirited conversations. The tranquility of the setting is disrupted by Bill's father, whose drunkenness leads to violence, linking Bill's anxiety and fears to a spectral shadow that represents his family's troubled past. This opening sets the stage for a journey that blends the tangible struggles of 19th-century life with Bill's dreams and spiritual encounters. As Bill navigates the complicated relationships within his family, he also begins to explore the mystical connections he shares with a dream-like realm, igniting questions about life, death, and the trials of existence.
