Tom Playfair: Or Making a Start

The story opens with 10-year-old Tom Playfair being quite a handful for his well-meaning but soft-hearted aunt. (Tom\'s mother has died.) Mr. Playfair decides to ship his son off to St. Maure\'s boarding school — an all-boys academy run by Jesuits — to shape him up, as well as to help him make a good preparation for his upcoming First Communion. Tom is less than enthusiastic, but his adventures are just about to begin. Life at St. Maure\'s will not be dull!
