La Vie de David Simple V2 (1782)

Have you ever wondered what really happens inside a British boarding school? Let this book remove the mystique by giving you a humorous and honest insider’s view to this unique world. It details a typical year through the eyes of a pupil and reveals what any prospectus won’t tell you. It includes traditions and ceremonies that are officially banned, teenage social life and, oh yes, the education too. Highlights include a special section on manners and etiquette that are specific to this way of life. They are illustrated by being integrated into the text and show how beneficial and long lasting a boarding school education can be.
