Benson (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet in an English preparatory school, this classic follows a bright, impulsive boy through a year of lessons, games, and small rebellions. A new classroom, a feared headmaster, and a young master shape the daily drama, as museum skeletons, ink-dipped darts, and Sunday catechism lessons become the stage for wit and mischief. Cricket looms large-earning colors matters as much as any exam-and loyalty is tested on and off the field. The world of dormitories, chapel, and cold baths is strict, but it is also kind, with friendships that bend without breaking.\u0026lt;\\p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpisode by episode, the story shows the rhythm of school life: the thrill of a clean boundary, the sting of punishment, the pride in keeping a promise, and the slow ache of growing up. Without sentimentality, it shows how courage can be as simple as taking the blame or keeping a secret, and how joy can spring from a stolen hour of sun. The result is a warm, lively portrait of youth in a lost time-humorous, humane, and true.\u0026lt;\\p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildside Press LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43184458596561,"sku":"9781667662558","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5981\/5377\/files\/9781667662558_FC.jpg?v=1784069404","url":"https:\/\/startlingstories.us\/products\/david-blaize-by-e-f-benson-paperback","provider":"Startling Stories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
