Letters to my parents from British boarding school and university covering the period 1949-1962, ages 9 to 22. Narrowly saved from being burnt when my parents sold their retirement home, the letters give a picture of life at that classic British institution, the all-male private boarding school, during the closing years of the British Empire. In my case the memories of that life are mostly happy and peaceful. I count myself lucky to have had the experience!
