E.F. Benson's delightfully nostalgic classic of public school life in the tradition of P.G Wodehouse's Tales of St. Austin's. Memorably evoking the joys and torments of boyhood, from midnight feasts and glorious days on the cricket field to waxy masters and hilariously embarrassing parental visits, Benson follows young David Blaize from prep school to Marchester College - a thinly disguised portrait of the author's own beloved Marlborough.
