About this book
"His Little World: The Story of Hunch Badeau" by Samuel Merwin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Hunch Badeau, the captain of a lumber schooner, and his interactions with a small beach community, including the characters Bruce Considine and Mamie Banks. The book explores themes of friendship, loyalty, love, and the trials of life on the water, with a focus on Hunch's personal growth and struggles. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Hunch Badeau as he takes part in a life-saving crew drill along the beach, where he encounters a group of young women, particularly one named Mamie. Badeau, described with physical attributes indicating he is a robust yet somewhat awkward man, is intrigued by Mamie as he embarks on conversations about her friend Bruce. As the narrative unfolds, we see hints of conflict and companionship between Hunch and Bruce, especially as Hunch takes up a protective role concerning Bruce's behavior, which is marked by alcoholism. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for an exploration of their friendship dynamics and set the stage for Hunch's challenges, both at sea and in personal relationships.
