Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A presentation copy, signed by the author, on the front endpaper and inscribed "To my sister, with love". Also the stamp of the Nevill Holt Library to the same page. The author was a colourful character and a apparently a fraudster, who purchased the publ…ic school at Nevill Holt by deception and ran it as its headteacher for 40 years. This book appears to be self-published and is dedicated "For the boys of Nevill Holt, after a visit to Stratford-on-Avon to see Shakespeare's "Henry VIII"". The school was shut down in 1998 after the exposure of a child abuse scandal. The book is in excellent condition with some bumps to the boards edges but otherwise very clean and sound. Dust jacket slightly torn and soiled. Pages not numbered, a slim book, seven full page photographic illustrations. Signed by Author(s).
