Summary "The Purple Flame" by Roy J. Snell is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Arctic wilderness, it follows the journey of Marian Norton, a young girl who herds reindeer in the harsh northern terrain. The story opens with a sense of mystery as Marian encounters a mysterious purple flame emanating from an abandoned dredging scow, which leads her to question who might be inhabiting it and anticipate the challenges that lie ahead. At the start of the book, Marian is making her way over the tundra with her reindeer when she first sees the strange purple flame. Interested yet cautious, she decides not to investigate further and instead pushes on to reach her destination. The narrative introduces her character as strong and resourceful, having been tasked with managing her reindeer herd while her father recovers in the States. As the story unfolds, she prepares for the arrival of her cousin, Patsy, from Kentucky, and faces the complexities of life in the Arctic, including the potential threats from both wildlife and other men seeking to take advantage of their herding operations. The opening sets the stage for a blend of adventure, familial bonds, and the ever-present mysteries of the north. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
