Product Description

When O’Hara and Moriarty, two boys at Wrykyn School, tar and feather the statue of a pompous local MP, O’Hara mislays at the scene of their crime a tiny gold bat borrowed from Trevor, captain of the school cricket team. The plot revolves around the fate of this bat and attempts to retrieve it, but the real focus of the novel is a vivid portrayal of school life. A gentle early comedy which should delight Wodehouse addicts and new readers alike.



P. G. Wodehouse (1881–1975) spent much of his life in Southampton, New York but was born in England and educated in Surrey. He became an American citizen in 1955. In a literary career spanning more than seventy years, he published more than ninety books, twenty film scripts, and collaborated on more than thirty plays and musical comedies.



Praise for P.G. Wodehouse:

“Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever.”--Douglas Adams

“Wodehouse’s idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own.”--Evelyn Waugh
