Description

St Austin’s school (as featured in The Pothunters) is the setting for twelve delightful early Wodehouse stories. The familiar ingredients – and some of the same characters – are present: cricket and rugby loom large, school colours are gained, tricks are played, exams avoided, revenge wreaked upon enemies, and the honour of School and House upheld. A nostalgic look at English public-school life at the turn of the twentieth century, made enjoyable today by the young Wodehouse’s gentle humour and witty turn of phrase.
