Original dark green blindstamped cloth on boards. I can't make heads-or-tails of the nineteenth century British schoolboy slang, but apparently a gang of boys traps a teacher, ties him up, and leaves him in the boot box (?) all night. Railsford, another teacher, finds out who did it but can't spill the beans due to circumstances. Interesting how I have used two colloquialisms in an effort to express my frustration at deciphering the author's ! Previous owner's name and edgeworn. 316 pp. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Store description
We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
