Excerpt from The First of June: Or Schoolboy Rivalry
If any parts of either story should be considered by parents or teachers as too light and frivolous to find a place in works designed for so grave a purpose; I W)uld beg them to remember the acknowledged difficulty there is in impressing boys of the age herein dealt with. It is to little purpose that we teach ever so wisely or profoundly, if the teaching is not listened to by those to whom it is addressed.

Excerpt from The First of June: Or Schoolboy Rivalry
Continuations are generally more or less failures; almost always, when the original has been popular and successful. I shall be neither surprised nor disheartened if the present tale should form no exception to this rule. My motives for writing it are these: -
First, I regard "The Cherry-stones" as being, for a boys' story, too short. It does not afford sufficient space for the development of the various characters it contains; and the interest excited by them is lost, almost as soon as it is awakened.
Again, it deals with one only of the two great temptations that beset the time of life, at which the chief actors in it are supposed to be.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the 19th century, to a time when schoolboy rivalry was as intense as it is today. We meet a group of boys at Charlton School, who are caught up in the thrill of a cricket match against a rival school. The author explores the competitive spirit of the boys, as they vie for the coveted position of captain. The story delves into the complex emotions that drive their actions, exposing the darker side of rivalry, including deceit and jealousy. We see how these seemingly trivial conflicts can cast a long shadow over friendships and how the desire for personal gain can blind a boy to the consequences of his actions. Ultimately, this book offers a poignant glimpse into the inner world of boys navigating the treacherous waters of friendship, ambition, and betrayal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
