At the venerable Beckford College, "Bishop" Gethryn is the undisputed king: head prefect, star cricketer, rugby dynamo, and the very model of a respected schoolboy. But the carefully constructed edifice of his perfect academic and athletic life comes crashing down with the arrival of his eccentric Uncle Oofy, a man whose very presence at Beckford threatens to unravel Gethryn's sterling reputation and, perhaps more importantly, the school's hallowed cricket season. Wodehouse masterfully orchestrates a cascade of embarrassments and misunderstandings, proving that even the most upright prefect is no match for a rogue relative and the absurdities of schoolboy honor.
