| Summary | "Explorers of the Dawn" by Mazo de la Roche is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around three young brothers—Angel, John, and The Seraph—as they navigate childhood adventures filled with imagination, mischief, and a touch of whimsy. Set against the backdrop of their somewhat restrictive upbringing under the care of Mrs. Handsomebody, the boys explore themes of freedom, the beauty of companionship, and the lingering impacts of familial loss. The opening portion of the novel introduces the boys and sets the stage for their adventures. Their father has left them with Mrs. Handsomebody after the death of their mother, and while the boys initially wrestle with their new environment, their imaginations fuel their escapades. We witness their playful rebellion against authority as they glide down the bannisters, sneak into forbidden areas, and eagerly speculate about a mysterious new neighbor, Captain Pegg, who claims to have once been a pirate. The boys’ longing for adventure and the thrill of exploration are palpable, promising a delightful and heartwarming journey through their childhood experiences.
