Adventures of Frank Merriwell
The Yale Bulldog
by
Frank Merriwell is the young hero of a long-running adventure series rooted in school life, athletics, and ideals of courage and fair play. The title “The Yale Bulldog” points to the collegiate world associated with Merriwell, where competition and personal character go hand in hand.
As an Old Time Radio adventure, the story is presented through dramatic performance rather than a single reader. Listeners can expect a narrative shaped for the ear, with dialogue and sound conveying the action and the atmosphere of its setting.
The series’ appeal lies in its blend of youthful adventure and moral purpose: athletic contests and challenges provide excitement, while Merriwell’s conduct gives the stories their earnest, optimistic tone.
