Summary "The Lonely Unicorn: A Novel" by Alec Waugh is a fiction work likely written in the early 20th century. The story appears to explore the lives of schoolboys and their romantic entanglements, particularly focusing on Roland Whately as he navigates his feelings for various girls amidst the dynamics of school life. Themes of youth, innocence, and the complexities of burgeoning relationships are likely central to the narrative. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Roland Whately, who returns to school early in an effort to secure his preferred dormitory and study arrangements before the rest of the boys arrive. As Roland reflects on his decision to take an earlier train, he encounters Howard, a senior student, and feels compelled to engage in a spontaneous act of rebellion by interacting with local girls at a nearby dance. The opening chapters set the stage for the budding relationships amongst Roland, his school friends, and the girls they meet, hinting at future conflicts and emotional developments as the characters navigate their youthful experiences.
