Our Frank
and other stories
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Our Frank" by Amy Walton is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on themes of morality and childhood experiences, particularly revolving around the central character, Frank Darvell, who grapples with the harsh realities of life and the consequences of running away from home. The opening of the story dives into Frank's troubled relationship with his father, which pushes him to flee his home. The narrative unfolds on a mild spring evening when Frank's mother, Mrs. Darvell, returns from market only to discover her son's absence. As she and her husband express concern over Frank's fate, we witness the contrasting dynamics of their parenting, highlighting Frank's sensitivity against his father's harsh expectations. Ultimately, these early scenes depict a poignant and morally rich tale of a young boy's quest for belonging and self-worth against the backdrop of 19th-century rural England.
