Book description
A collection of all-time favourite school stories Meet the world's
naughtiest boys and girls, the best and the worst students and some
really famous children in this book as they make their way through
school. Read about David Copperfield and his friendship with Steerforth,
Tom Brown trying to find his feet in Rugby school, and Jane Eyre
fighting poverty and disease in a school for orphans. Not to forget
those other irrepressible and immortal boys, Richmal Crompton's William
Brown, Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, RK Nararyan's Swami and Ruskin Bond's
Rusty. Also included are stories from such classics as Anne of Avonlea,
Little Men, Stalky and Co., and To Sir, With Love. By turns hilarious
and heartwarming, these classic tales are about growing up and the time
spent in that one place which is so beloved to some and so hated by
others-school.
