Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Frank of Freedom Hill" by Samuel A. Derieux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on an Irish setter named Dan, later renamed Frank, who struggles with his transition from being a prized hunting dog in a luxurious home to facing the harsh realities of life in the wild after escaping captivity. It explores themes of freedom, loyalty, and the bond between dogs and their human companions. The opening of the book introduces Dan VI, the Irish setter, as he is transported away from his comfortable life. He becomes increasingly desperate to escape the confines of his chain and the train car, leading to his eventual flight into the wild where he tries to survive on his own. Through vivid descriptions, the narrative captures his challenges and instincts in the wilderness, alongside his yearning for companionship. As he navigates through the woods, he encounters a lost boy, Tommy Earle, marking the start of their new bond and a shift from survival to finding a place he can call home within the Earle family. Frank's story unfolds as he learns to adapt to his new life while grappling with his past.
