註釋

P. G. Wodehouse's novel 'A Prefect's Uncle' crafts a delightful tapestry of youthful mischief and schoolboy shenanigans at the quintessentially English backdrop of Beckford College. With Wodehouse's distinctive literary style, the narrative unfurls through the eyes of the mischief-maker Reginald Farnie, whose arrival at the school upends the established order. This entry into the canon of children's literature brims with the characteristic wit and comical precision that precedes Wodehouse's later and more renowned works, such as the Jeeves and Wooster series. The lively prose and playful use of language situate 'A Prefect's Uncle' within a tradition of English literature that celebrates the eccentricities and capriciousness of youth. The author, P. G. Wodehouse, is a literary craftsman known for his dexterity in conjuring light-hearted escapades that charm and entertain. His own experiences at Dulwich College may well have inspired the depiction of the illustrious Beckford. It is his unique ability to weave frivolity with sharp observation that has led Wodehouse to pen 'A Prefect's Uncle', capturing the essence of public school life and its tradition-laden milieu with a humorous twist that echoes his early 20th-century contemporaries. 'A Prefect's Uncle' is recommended for readers who relish classic English humor peppered with a dash of rebellion. Wodehouse invites us to revisit our own youthful follies through the prism of his inventive storytelling. The book beckons not only young readers but also adults who appreciate the perennial charm of school stories and the timeless humor that Wodehouse masterfully delivers. Embrace the nostalgia, wit, and innocent revelry that 'A Prefect's Uncle' promises – an enjoyable read that reaffirms Wodehouse's role as a stalwart of comedic literature.
