In this memoir, Sir Alexander Malet, a former student at Winchester School, provides a detailed account of the controversial system of fagging, which involves the older students giving orders to the younger ones, often in the form of menial tasks. This practice has been a characteristic of many British schools for centuries, and this book sheds light on its historical origins and cultural significance.
