The Gold Bat
by P. G. Wodehouse
When O'Hara and Moriarty, two children from the Ricky School, tar and feather, become statues of a majestic local congressman, O'Hara puts a small golden bat at the crime scene, borrowed from Trevor, the captain of the school's cricket team. The plot revolves around the fate of this bat and tries to extract it, but the main focus of the novel is a vivid image of school life. Environment, 1. Despite being a British public school in the years before World War II, the waterhouse's ear is so sharp for the way children speak that everyone, regardless of where they are trained, recognizes familiar characters and situations.
