I like this book; you should read it.

Although G.F. Bradby’s classic tale first appeared a few short months before the outbreak of the First World War, it remains one of the best stories of school life ever written.

Review: It’s amazing how the issues and struggles within an old, established school haven’t changed in a century. Bradby’s punchy wit brilliantly captures the ethos and culture of a respected grammar school. His characterisation of the various personalities within the school is chillingly believable. Although classed as fiction, I suspect any number of similar institutions could imagine themselves as the setting for this early 20th-century tale. The Lanchester Tradition is short, readable, and very entertaining. I didn’t realise pre-war headmasters of Rugby School were allowed to have a sense of humour.
