Frederick W. Farrar : [St Winifred's School Stories]
[Harry Burton recalled' "we wallowed in Eric and St Winifred's and other school stories, especially Talbot Baines Reed's"...[Burton] like other working class children preferred Frank Richards to Empire Day, simply because the former was a more reliable guide to the reality he knew'.
Century: 1900-1945 Reader/Listener/Group: Harry Burton Print: Book
Frederick W. Farrar : Eric, or, Little by Little
'On Wednesdays the bells of St. Michael's Church on the neighbouring hill pealed for a service or, as some said, "choir practice". They filled me with dread, a reminder of Sunday yet to come. In Eric or Little by Little which I had begun to read, the bell was always tolling. Or the World of School it said, and in that school it seemed that the boys died off like flies.'

Frederick W. Farrar : Eric, or, Little by Little
'Religion was a sore trial ... Dean Farrar contributed to my suspicion of God, and my suspicion of God — "I haven't done anything; really I haven't" — gave ghastly reality to Eric's school in which the mortality should have attracted the attention of authority.'
