Part of Series
Part of the Britain in Pictures series published between 1941 and 1948 in an effort to boost morale and instill pride in a national identity during the war and early post-war years. Over 130 volumes were planned but only 126 actually appeared. The list of authors was an impressive who's who of the literary, political and arts communities of the time. In this volume of the series, Rex Warner outlines the history of the English Public School system from the 14th century foundations through the first half of the 20th century.

Rex Warner was an English classicist, writer and translator. He is now probably best remembered for The Aerodrome (1941), an allegorical novel whose young hero is faced with the disintegration of his certainties about his loved ones and with a choice between the earthy, animalistic life of his home village and the pure, efficient, emotionally detached life of an airman.
