In their heyday, the English public schools inspired an astonishing effusion of novels and stories about school life, of which Tom Brown's Schooldays is perhaps still the best known, and was certainly the most influential.   Continually counterpointing school life as it really was with its fictional image, Isabel Quigly discusses her chosen stories in relation to those themes which recur in the genre: the cult of games, the love story, the boarding school as a training ground for the Empire, schoolboy heroics and an extraordinary preoccupation with death. Her range is wide: from classics like Stalky & Co, Anstey's Vice Versa, and P. G. Wodehouse's school stories, to the schoolgirl tales of Angela Brazil: from nostalgic and snobbish accounts of Eton to Alec Waugh's daring and precocious novel, The Loom of Youth.  The Heirs of Tom Brown is an entertaining and original investigation into the literary, social and cultural history of the English school story.   'An excellent guide to this curious but interesting chapter in social and literary history' John Rae, Listener

It sets out to challenge traditional thinking about old age and the resultant effects on the quality of care. It is intended for all involved in caring for the old including social workers, nurses, doctors, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists and retirement counsellors and underlines the importance of effective counselling, the skills needed and the relationships that evolve. It also addresses the social and emotional implications of issues such as dependence, depression, retirement, bereavement and death.
