HOWARD BAKER proudly present herewith another collection of stories in the saga of St. Jim's,culled from 'The Gem' and representing the halcyon pre-war days of Boys' Papers.
All the old favourites are here: Tom Merry & Co., Ralph Reckless Cardew, the unforgettable Arthur Augustus D'Arcy (Gussy) - the Swell of St. Jim's and a host of other well-loved characters from the pen of the most popular and prolific school-story writer of all time.Two stories are included in this volume,'THE REBEL OF ST.JIM'S',otherwise known as the Victor Cleeve series,and a seasonal offering,'CHRISTMAS AT HOLLY LODGE'.
Writing in the Collectors' Digest,its EDitor,Eric Fayne,commented: 'The Victor Cleeve series was as good as anything that Charles Hamilton (Martin Clifford) ever wrote,which is saying a lot.There is no doubt that he put everything he had into this series - and that meant plenty.The appeal of the Victor Cleeve series was, chiefly,to older readers,the most discriminating and intelligent.It is so good that,between hard covers,it might well become a school story classic.The series contains fascinating cricket sequences,good dialogue,superb characters, tense situations,working up to a great climax.A satisfying dish of fare for the most jaded palate.What a treat for the GEM reader today!'
