| Description: | Select Guide Rating 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. 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. Though the setting is an English public school in the years before World War 1, so sharp is Wodehouse''s ear for the way children talk that everyone will recognise familiar characters and situations, whatever their place of education. |
