In Cap’n Abe, Storekeeper (1917), Cooper captures the essence of village life through the eyes of Cap’n Abe, whose general store serves as the community’s heart. Cap’n Jonah’s Fortune (1919) continues to explore coastal traditions, weaving adventure and humor into the quest for prosperity and meaning. Tobias o’ the Light (1920) turns toward solitude and duty, following Tobias Bassett, a lighthouse keeper whose life embodies the isolation and steadfastness demanded by the sea. Finally, Sheila of Big Wreck Cove (1921) introduces Sheila, whose life intertwines with shipwrecks and romance, showcasing Cooper’s skill at blending adventure with the trials of everyday life.
