Praise for R F Delderfield:
Mr Delderfield's manner is easy, modest, heartwarming (Evening Standard)
He built an imposing artistic social history that promises to join those of his great forebears in the long, noble line of the English novel. His narratives belong in a tradition that goes back to John Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett (Life Magazine)
R F Delderfield is a born storyteller ( Sunday Mirror)
Sheer, wonderful storytelling (Chicago Tribune)
It is always a pleasure to read R F Delderfield, because he never seems to be ashamed of writing well . . . Today he is a bestseller wherever English language books are read (Books and Bookmen)
Highly recommended. Combines tension with a splendid sense of atmosphere and vivid characterisation. An excellent read (Sunday Express)
The classic story of an English public school between the wars and an inspirational teacher, repackaged as a Hodder Great Read.
