| Summary | "Eric; Or, Little by Little" by F. W. Farrar is a novel written in the early 20th century, which focuses on the formative years of a young boy named Eric Williams. The story explores themes of childhood innocence, the transition to school life, and the moral and ethical challenges young people face. Central to the narrative is Eric, who is characterized by his spirited nature and his impending journey to Roslyn School, where he will confront both the joys and tribulations of growing up. At the start of the narrative, we witness Eric's exuberance as he anticipates going to school while being lovingly cared for by his cousin Fanny. As he navigates his childhood in the idyllic Vale of Ayrton, the reader learns about his early years spent in the nurturing environment of his aunt and her daughter. However, despite his cheerful demeanor, there lingers a sense of foreboding regarding his future at school, particularly as Eric's proud character may lead to challenges, particularly in relation to bullying and the complexities of peer relationships. This opening sets the stage for the exploration of Eric's moral development, as he will have to contend with new friendships, school hierarchy, and his responses to bullying and authority in the chapters that follow.
