Produced by Camilo Bernard, Christine Bell and Marc D'Hooghe (From images generously made available by the Internet Archive) "A Drake by George!" by John Trevena is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Captain Francis Drake, a larger-than-life character who moves to the village of Highfield and establishes himself as a local authority figure. Alongside him is his wife, Mrs. Drake, their lazy nephew George, and a host of eccentric supporting characters who add both humor and chaos to their lives. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Captain Drake as he arrives in Highfield, instantly making a stir with his imposing presence and grand plans to take control of the parish. Through a series of humorous encounters, we learn about his domineering personality, his unexpected family dynamics, and his aspirations to leave a mark on the village. The narrative quickly reveals that while he seeks to impose order, his larger-than-life persona often leads to humorous misunderstandings and conflicts with the quirky residents of Highfield, setting the stage for the unfolding drama and comedy in the book.
