David of King's is E.F. Benson's witty and well-observed novel of
varsity life set at King's College, Cambridge during the early part
of the 20th century. The novel was first published in 1924 when
Benson was in his later fifties. The work was penned by Benson
because of the success he had enjoyed with David Blaize, his
schoolboy novel, first published in 1916. David of King's takes off
where David Blaize ends. The novel covers three years of Blaize's
undergraduate life. Enjoy more tales of Blaize and his different
friendships with Maddox and Bags as they live and learn together as
King'smen. David of King's is, above all, a "jolly enjoyable" read.
Benson tells an absorbing story and he draws the reader into the
cultural and social world of Blaize at King's College and more
generally of Cambridge University. His stories of Blaize's
encounters with colourful and eccentric dons--A.G. and Mr.
Crowfoot--based on the real life characters O.B. (Oscar Browning)
and Mr. J.E. Nixon--are absolute gems of affectionate humour and
should not be missed. This Viewforth Classic edition is a newly
prepared and corrected version of the original text. Edited, with
introduction and notes, by Dr. Craig Paterson. Previously published
by Viewforth Press: David Blaize, 2010 (ISBN: 1453763104)
