The White Feather
by P. G. Wodehouse
After embarrassing himself by escaping from a fight between other students and tough ones from the local town, a studus schoolboy is taken to practice boxing in order to save his fame and the honor of his home at school. This fascinating early novel by P. G. Waterhouse plays a series of humorous variations of the standard school history of the period and balances the secondary heroism of the action against humorous and ironic interpretations. A simple fairy tale gives a bright drawing of characters and a sharp ear of the author for the student's dialogue.
