THE UNCENSORED BOY'S OWN

Spiffing Tales of Plucky Deeds & Unspeakable Beastliness. Boys will be boys—except for young Witherspoon, who had his own agenda. Dick Beresford, now an eccentric old man, fondly reminisces about his happiest years at the peculiar "St Fred's" school. Using illustrations from boys' stories of the 1920s and '30s, he shares his many wild adventures and hilarious antics, all of which are utterly bonkers and absolutely delightful. You meet his friends and a cast of quirky characters, alongside the odd matron and even stranger teachers. He fondly recalls days in the Boy Scout troop, puts sappy girls in their place, and tackles uncomfortable topics in a tongue-in-cheek guide to boyhood issues. As if that weren't enough, he reveals the mysteries behind Oxley’s odd behavior, Mr. Clemens the flamboyant socialist, a bizarre incident in the woods, the legendary piano-throwing Brenda, and the whimsical Incas of Surbiton in The Uncensored Boy's.
