"Tales of St. Austin's" by P. G. Wodehouse is a collection of short stories published in 1903. Set in a fictional English public school, these interconnected tales follow students through cricket matches, classroom mishaps, and schoolboy schemes. Characters navigate pranks gone wrong, elaborate revenge plots, and the consequences of avoiding exams. From noisemakers in dormitories to cases of mistaken identity, the stories capture the humor and chaos of boarding school life, where
cleverness doesn't always lead to success. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
