The author was praised for his lively and accurate depictions of childhood in this 1919 novel. A comic exploration of the psychology of boyhood, it is the first in a trilogy that includes Jeremy and Hamlet (1923) and Jeremy at Crale (1927). The fictional setting, the cathedral town of Polchester in Glebeshire, appears in many later Walpole novels.
