Norman Vallery; or, How to Overcome Evil with Good Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Norman Vallery; or, How to Overcome Evil with Good" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around young Norman Vallery, an unpleasant and spoiled boy whose upbringing has been guided by his father's belief in absolute freedom for children. As the narrative unfolds, the unpleasant behaviors of Norman draw attention to themes of kindness, behavior, and the transformation that can arise from experiences and realizations. The beginning of this work introduces Norman, a boy recently returned from India, who appears to have a strong will and a tendency towards unkindness, especially towards animals and his sister, Fanny. As Norman arrives back in England, he exhibits intolerable behaviors, prompted by a lack of proper upbringing, which contrasts sharply with Fanny's gentle and caring nature. The narrative sets the stage for Norman’s potential transformation, hinting at significant incidents that challenge his harsh demeanor and illustrate the power of kindness and correction. The opening establishes a clear dichotomy between the siblings' personalities and foreshadows Norman's journey towards redemption as he encounters the consequences of his actions and learns the value of compassion.
