About this book

Three mischievous, brilliant schoolboys—Stalky, McTurk, and Beetle—wage a running war of pranks, cunning, and defiance against masters and bullies at an English boarding school that trains boys for the Empire. Drawing on Kipling's own schooldays, these linked stories celebrate cleverness, loyalty, and the unofficial education that shapes character. By turns hilarious and sharp, Stalky & Co. offers a vivid, unsentimental portrait of Victorian schoolboy life and the making of the men who would run an empire. Witty and full of energy, it is a classic of the school-story genre, revealing the anarchic humor and shrewd insight of one of English literature's great storytellers.
