THE GOLD BAT

Containing 8 Full-page Illustrations

By T. M. R. Whitwell.


Crown 8vo. Price 3/6. Bound in Cloth.


The story deals with life in a large public school. The plot centres round the struggle for the last vacancy in the football fifteen and the doings of a mysterious "League" in the school. The Author, while working out an exciting plot, has endeavoured throughout not to offend against the probabilities of school life. Many of the incidents in the book, including the central idea, are founded upon events which have actually taken place at public schools.

"A rattling good story of school life, written with all the breeziness and vitality of the veriest living boy."―St. James's Gazette.

"A school story this, and a good one. The most puzzling thing that ever comes to pass in a school is theft. It cannot be regarded from the ordinary point of view; that is, according to the probability which is our guide in common life. In this case it is ingeniously complicated. The tale is cleverly contrived, and told with spirit, while the dialogue is excellent."―Spectator.

"A book which will appeal to the beart of every boy. If is a school story of the best sort, full of go and the right spirit. We have not read a school tale for some time which has struck us as so true and sound."―Academy.

"A story of public school life which may be fairly described as 'ripping.' It is written with insight and humour, and its easy, attractive style should render it particularly popular."―World.
