<div><b>In a captivating comic novel from Angela Thirkell's much-loved 1930s Barsetshire series, trainee barrister Colin Keith makes an ill-advised foray into teaching at Southbridge School</b></div><div></div>To his parents' deep dismay, Colin Keith—out of the noble but misplaced sense of duty peculiar to high-minded young university graduates—chooses to quit his training for the Bar and take a teaching job at Southbridge School. Little does Colin imagine that he will count among his pupils the demon in human form known as Tony Morland, or that the master's ravishing, feather-brained daughter Rose will, with her flights of fancy and many admirers, spread chaos throughout school and village. Humorous, high-spirited, and cleverly observed, <i>Summer Half</i> is a comic delight.
