Дідько на дзвіниці — сатирична новела Едгара Аллана По. Вперше була опублікована в 1839 році.В ізольованому містечку під назвою Vondervotteimittiss (дивно-котра-це-година) пунктуальні мешканці, здається, не хвилюються лише годинниками та капустою. Цей методичний, нудний і тихий район спустошений приходом диявольської фігури, що грає на великій скрипці, яка спускається прямо з пагорба, заходить у дзвіницю, жорстоко нападає на дзвіницю й дзвонить на тринадцяту годину, доводить до жаху мешканців міста.

Більшість творів, написаних Франком для дітей, становлять казки. Письменник часто використовував у них сюжети, взяті з народної творчості різних країн світу. Франка особливо цікавила в казках їх моральна спрямованість, ідейний зміст, співзвучність з тими проблемами й справами, якими жило тоді суспільство. Використані Франком сюжети набирали глибоко актуального значення, відзначалися яскравим національним колоритом, набували виразної виховної спрямованості. Франко надавав казковому жанру особливого значення у вихованні дитини.
