Penguin 1st Edition, published 1961.
Prep School not a traditional novel with a linear plot, but rather a nostalgic and detailed fictionalised memoir that explores the unique culture of English preparatory boarding schools during the inter-war period, inspired by Kenward's own time at Ripple Vale School in Kent. The book has been praised for its "charming" illustrations and its ability to capture the specific institutional character of a bygone era in English education.
Condition grading: Good. Some light foxing to both covers. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
