Eric; Or, Little by Little
by F. W. Farrar
"Eric; Or, Little by Little" by F. W. Farrar is a novel first published in 1858. The story follows Eric Williams, a British boy sent from India to attend boarding school in England. Despite his noble character, Eric gradually succumbs to the corrupting influences around him—wrongful punishments, bullying, and temptations like drinking and smoking. Through Eric's moral descent, Farrar crafted a cautionary tale about the importance of spiritual guidance and inner purity. Once among Victorian Britain's most popular boys' books, it shaped generations of readers.
