Summary "Danny's Own Story" by Don Marquis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Danny, an orphan raised by Hank and Elmira Walters in a small town, who has had a troubled upbringing marked by neglect and violence. Told from Danny's perspective, the book explores themes of identity, family, and resilience as he navigates the chaotic environment of his childhood. The opening of the novel presents Danny's comical and tragic origins, beginning with the story of how he was found abandoned in a basket by his adoptive parents, Hank and Elmira. The couple's contentious relationship provides a tumultuous backdrop to Danny's life, as they quarrel over his name and his very existence. Throughout this portion, readers witness Hank's drunkenness and violence, while Elmira, despite her tough exterior, also plays a significant role in Danny's upbringing. The narrative is filled with humorous anecdotes, illustrating both the absurdity and harshness of Danny's circumstances, setting the stage for his journey of self-discovery and growth.
