Father’s polar tales spark late childhood defiance
A Uly familiar with his father’s polar exploits, Lieutenant Shackleton’s son asks his mother for danger in a story and rejects tales of his father. The piece blends comic dialogues about doctors, pills, and a city drugstore sponge gag with brief vignettes of household wisdom and innocence.
