註釋Whether it is the fat owl of the Remove Billy Bunter bending over for another whopping from Mr Quelch, the impetuous Jennings with another supersonic wheeze, or the girls at St. Chad's lining up for a rippingly jolly hockey match, British literary history has throughout the century been enriched by the much-maligned, much imitated but also much-loved school story. David Bathurst's nostalgic tribute to six of this century's most famous exponents of the art not only examines the people behind the immortal catchphrases, the colourful characters and evocative settings, from Victorian public schools to modern suburban comprehensives; it traces, through the six chosen authors, the development of the school story over the past hundred years. Packed with illustrations, quotations, biographical detail, bibliographies and pure unashamed trivia, this book is a must for the nostalgia buff, the social and literary historian, and all who wish to become more familiar with this rich vein of children's literature.
