Many books have been written about the horror of boys’ public schools. Comparatively few, however, venture beyond the staff-room door to examine the suffering of masters as well as pupils. Of those that do, there is probably none that captures the wretchedness of their cloistered life more vividly than Mr Perrin and Mr Traill. Based in part on his own experiences as a boarder at King’s School, Canterbury, Walpole reflected that this was "probably the truest" of all his novels.
Hugh Walpole (1884–1941) was a former schoolmaster and novelist whose other titles include The Dark Forest and The Secret City. Anthony Gardner contributes features, travel articles, and book reviews to, among others, The Daily Telegraph, The Mail on Sunday, and The Sunday Times Magazine.
