Mr. Tibbits's Catholic School

Mr Tibbits's Catholic School | Ysenda Maxtone Graham

I‘m currently reading (and really enjoying!) this #SlightlyFoxed book about a South Kensington Catholic boy‘s school. It follows its history from 1934 until the present day with lots of tidbits about eccentric teachers, headmasters, and quotes from past students.

LeahBergen @Suet624 It‘s one of those “micro histories” that speaks so much about a certain era. 1y

Ysenda Maxtone Graham's Mr. TIBBIT'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL is about a private school in South Kensington. It gives an accurate picture of the life of boys enrolled in such schools. The book focuses on an eccentric cast of teachers and the various headmasters who worked in the school.

Overall a delightful read. However there are some racist comments that might have to be read taking into account the time when such sentiments existed

Sophoclessweetheart Oh! I love Slighty Foxed editions. 😍😍 7y
