A new term is beginning at Beckford College, and "Bishop" Gethryn seems to have it all: He's the head prefect of his schoolhouse, a top athlete on both the cricket and rugby teams, and is respected by his schoolmates and the Headmaster. But when his uncle arrives at the school, Gethryn's world (and that of the school's cricket team) is upended. The Prefect's Uncle is P. G. Wodehouse's second novel, and was first published in 1903. P. G. Wodehouse (died 1975) was a significant literary figure of the 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, A Prefects Uncle exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
