The Politeness of Princes, and Other School Stories
The Politeness of Princes, and Other School Stories is a collection of humorous short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, written in the early 20th century. The narratives revolve around the comedic experiences of students at a British boarding school, particularly focusing on G. Montgomery Chapple, a perpetually late student whose antics to improve his punctuality lead to amusing predicaments. This work highlights themes of competition, friendship, and the pressures of school life, showcasing Wodehouse's signature wit and humor.

“...there was practically one handwriting common to the whole school when it came to writing lines. It resembled the movements of a fly that had fallen into an ink-pot, and subsequently taken a little brisk exercise on a sheet of foolscap by way of restoring the circulation.””
— P. G. Wodehouse
