Review: The Papers of A.J. Wentworth, BA

The Papers of A.J. Wentworth, BA by H.F. Ellis
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

It was mildly funny a couple of times. Maybe someone of yore, who had been bachelor school master and had an awkward little service record might be able to associate a bit with this, but nothing else.

Wentworth is a big-time klutz, stiff and unsuspecting schoolmaster. Most incidents happen just because he is too clumsy with every little thing and being the prim victorian he is tries to explain how that incident isn't eccentric at all, which at times can be mildly funny.

The only saving grace is the prose and voice., which does seem like the one coming from a puritanical English old boy through and through. You won't be missing much if you decided to skip this book.
