SMALL PAPERBACK. 1966 PENGUIN EDITION.CREASES TO SPINE AND COVER
The members of the school Old Boys Association are due to elect this year's president. And the election is an opportunity for the Old Boys, at seventy, to relive the struggles and torments of those long ago but never forgotten school days.
But there is one important difference.
Now they are old they possess a fiercer understanding of the things in life which matter - power, revenge, hatred, love and love's failures. Now is the time for old scores to be settled - once and for all time.
Described by Evelyn Waugh as 'uncommonly well-written, gruesome, funny and original', William Trevor's prize-winning The Old Boys is his highly acclaimed and enduring first novel, published fifty years ago.
