Summary "The Choir School of St. Bede's" by Frederick Harrison is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy, Alfred Davidson, who has recently joined the cathedral choir at St. Bede's. The book explores themes of friendship, bullying, ambition, and the everyday lives of choir boys as they navigate school life and their musical aspirations. At the start of the novel, we meet Alfred on his first day at the choir school, feeling shy and out of place among the other boys. He encounters bullying from Herbert King, who resents Alfred for taking a position in the choir that he desired for his brother. Despite initial challenges, Alfred quickly makes friends with Walter Parker and Stephen Gray, who stand up for him against bullies. The opening chapters establish Alfred’s passion for music, highlight the social dynamics of the boys, and set the stage for his growth and the development of his friendships amidst school life events and minor trials.
