As told by Charles Dickens (and frankly, you would hardly have to guess), the hero of our story walks about 74 miles to find his Aunt after a tirade of abusive characters and deaths is visited upon the poor boy’s doorstep (doesn’t his new Dad look like he should be sword-fighting on a beach somewhere…?) The resilient little thing finally has a home with his marvelous Aunt (she’s from Cimarron) and grows into a fine young man who has the uncanny ability to sense creepy Heeps, though the dynamic between him and his “child wife” Dora is also rather creepy.
