About this listen

At midday on 31st August, Sedgewick, the new history master, arrives at Blindefellows, former charity school for poor, blind boys, now a second division private school for anyone who can pay. The naïve newcomer is quickly taken under the wing of the rumbustious, philandering Japes, master of physics, who soon becomes something of a mentor, though not in an academic sense.

A Blindefellows Chronicle follows the adventures of Sedgewick, Japes, and a handful of other unmarried faculty at an obscure West Country boarding school including the closeted headmaster, Reverend Hareton, stalwart Matron Ridgeway, and loathsome librarian, Fairchild.

A sweeping tale with sharp wit and a cast of characters that are knotted together like a bristly ball of multi-hued twine. The audio version is a delight to listen to. Don’t miss this extravagant history of an institute of learned mayhem.

What a really depressing disappointment - was hoping for something a little more evolved after the positive reviews on Amazon books. Tedious, charmless, puerile stuff. Ugh.
