Obviously intended for public schoolboys in the 1980's. Very out of date.
Might appeal to older readers remembering their schooldays etc.

This is an extremely rare "children's" book by the fictional author cum scumball, Bert Fegg. Actually Terry Jones and Michael Palin of Monty Python. Was supposed to be made into a tv series in the 90's, but it never happened.
