Richard Church (1) (1893–1972)

(Obviously) outdated scholarship, writing and above all moral judgments. An interesting read for those interested in the history of English literary scholarship, but not recommendable for anyone else. The underlying metaphor seems rather pointless (and hence annoying), especially since - as Church points out himself - it actually stops being applicable at some point in the 19th century.

This is a serious novel about a war between the gray squirrels and the red squirrels, in which Rufus fights and proves himself to be a warrior.
