“In summer all right-minded boys built huts in the furze-hill behind the College-little lairs whittled out of the heart of the prickly bushes, full of stumps, odd root-ends, and spikes, but, since they were strictly forbidden, palaces of delight.”
This is a collection of short stories about adolescent boys at a British boarding school. It was originally published in a series of stories in a magazine, then published in book form in 1899.
