Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was a prolific and much loved English novelist, biographer and short story writer. He was educated at Marlborough College, King's College, Cambridge and the British School of Archaeology in Athens. Benson is most famous for a series of comic novels he published during the 1920's and 1930's--"Mapp and Lucia"--set in the small fictitious coastal town of Tilling. Benson was awarded an OBE by the King and was also made an Honorary Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. He served as Mayor of the town of Rye from 1934-1937. Craig Paterson is a philosopher and author. He now lives in Los Angeles, California.
David Blaize is the son of an archdeacon, the friend of a bishop's nephew, and this is a story of their friendship and life at a public school. Possibly the tale may be reminiscent of the author's own youth. It tells of cleanliness, physical and moral, of the self-restraint learned from one another by boys who were to be among the future leaders in England.

Through the eyes of David Blaize, a mischievous and observant protagonist, we witness the complex relationship between student and teacher, the importance of social standing and hierarchy, and the constant tension between rule-following and rebellion.
