From the Os Guinness artticle...
Running away from boarding school at fifteen, Frank was bright and gifted, with talents that showed as clearly in his art then as in his writing now. But he bucked at all formal education and serious tutoring, and his claim that he then received a “’great books’ British university-level literature course” comes as quite a surprise to his tutor. Francis actually praised Frank’s dropping out of school to a friend of mine, arguing that “Christians should be like Bolsheviks.” Later, pushed far out of his depth by the momentum of his and his father’s activism, Frank found himself propelled into becoming the arrogant, pompous, and hollow young fraud that, to his credit, he came to loathe and then repudiate. Frank himself is where the con artistry came into the story.
I also read someplace that Franky was home educated by tutor for a time. His mother’s and sister’s books are quite popular among homeschoolers today.
I am wondering about the religious affiliation ofg his sisters. IIRC one of them became Anglican and Franky is Orthodox, wonder what the other 2 are?
