If were honest, Wodehouses school stories arent even good examples of the genre.Sheen is a demure gentleman who prefers studying for his scholarship exam than participating in physical activities - especially street brawls. Too bad his classmates disdain his gentle nature. When word of his flight spreads around campus, he's branded a coward and a dishonor to his house. Faced with ostracization and the loss of status, Sheen resolves to do the one thing that will restore his honor: win the interschool boxing match.P.G. Wodehouse constructed quite a frustrating novel.

"The White Feather" is one of two of the newest Wodehouse books published by Overlook Press. there are now 86 titles available with just a few more left to publish. i enjoyed this book immensely. coupled with "The Gold Bat," this book continues the stories of school life at Wrykyn College, which for those that know, include Mike Jackson and his friend Psmith.
