Talbot Baines Reed's 'The School Ghost and Boycotted with Other Stories' is a delightful collection that captures the quintessential Victorian era's ethos through its narratives and characters. With Reed's signature literary style that combines wit with moral instruction, the stories are artfully woven to reflect the concerns and values of the time. The supernatural element in 'The School Ghost' offers a compelling intrigue, while 'Boycotted' and the accompanying tales delve into the social dynamics and moral quandaries faced by youths. The stories are embedded in Reed's unique aesthetic, which smoothly blends adventure with didacticism, providing both entertainment and lessons, and are a testament to the vibrancy of 19th-century youth literature. As a prodigious writer of boys' fiction, Talbot Baines Reed has left an indelible mark on literature for young readers. Inspired by his own education and the didactic needs of his era, Reed masterfully crafted stories that were meant not just to captivate but also to edify his audience. His narratives often reflect his profound understanding of character-building challenges and juvenile adventure, making his insights and contributions to children's literature both invaluable and timeless. 'Reed's 'The School Ghost and Boycotted with Other Stories' is a masterpiece that deserves a revered place on the bookshelves of collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts of historical youth fiction. This compendium not only entertains but also provides a window into the societal expectations of Victorian youth and the educational philosophies of the time. It is recommended for those who seek not just a good story, but a deeper understanding of the vision that shaped a genre and the mind that forged literature capable of enduring through generations.

The School cuts me. I hardly know yet what it was all about, and at the time I had not an idea. I don't think I was more of a fool than most fellows of my age at Draven's, and I rather hope I wasn't an out-and-out cad. But when it all happened, I had my doubts on both points, and could explain the affair in no other way than by supposing I must be like the lunatic in the asylum, who, when asked how he came to be there, said, "I said the world was mad, the world said I was mad; the world was bigger than I was, so it shut me up here!" It had been a dismal enough term, as it was, quite apart from my troubles. That affair of Browne had upset us all, and taken the spirit out of Draven's. We missed him at every turn. What was the good of getting up the football fifteen when our only "place-kick" was gone? Where was the fun in the "Saturday nights" when our only comic singer, our only reciter, our only orator wasn't there? Who cared about giving study suppers or any other sociable entertainment, when there was no Browne to invite? Browne had left us suddenly. One day he had been the life and soul of Draven's, next morning he had been summoned to Draven's study, and that same evening we saw him drive off to the station in a cab with his portmanteau on the top. Very few of the fellows knew why he had been expelled. I scarcely knew myself, though I was his greatest chum. On the morning of the day he left, he met me on his way back from Draven's study. "I'm expelled, Smither," he said, with a dismal face. "Go on," replied I, taking his arm and scrutinising his face to see where the joke was hidden. But it was no joke. "I am," said he hopelessly: "I am to go this evening. It's my own fault. I've been a cad. I was led into it. It's bad enough; but I'm not such a blackleg as Draven makes out-" And here for the first time in my life I saw Browne look like breaking down. He wasn't going to let me see it, and hurried away before I could find anything to say. If he hadn't told me himself, I should have called any one who told me Browne had been a cad-well, I'd better not say what I should have called him. I knew my chum had been a rollicking sort of fellow, who found it hard to say No to anybody who asked anything of him; but that he was a blackleg I, for one, would not believe, for all the Dravens in the world. Hardly knowing what I did, I walked up to the master's study door and knocked. "Come in." I could tell by the voice that came through the door I should do no good. I went in. Mr Draven was pacing up and down the room, and stopped short in front of me as I entered. "Well?" I wished I was on the other side of the door; but I wasn't, and must say something, however desperate. "Please, sir, Browne-" "Browne leaves here to-day," said Mr Draven coldly; "what do you want?" "Please, sir, I hope you will-" I forgot where I was and what I was saying. My mind wandered aimlessly, and I ended my sentence I don't know how....

Originally published in 1985. This is a fascinating account of the life cycle of a minor literary genre, the boys’ school story. It discusses early nineteenth-century precursors of the school story – didactic works with such revealing titles as The Parents’ Assistant – and goes on to examine in detail the two major examples of the genre - Hughes’s Tom Brown’s School Days and Farrar’s Eric. The slow development of the genre during the 1860s and 1870s is traced, and its institutionalisation by Talbot Baines Reed in, for example, The Fifth Form at St Dominic’s, is described. Many similar works were subsequently published for adults and adolescents, and the author shows how they differ from the originals in being critical in tone and written to a formula in plot and style. This development is discussed in relation to the changing social structure of Britain up to 1945, by which time to life of the genre was almost ended.
