Tales of St Austin's

О книге

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, 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, including four essays on educational themes, made enjoyable today by the young Wodehouse’s gentle humour and inimitable turn of phrase.
