As I have read the contributions as they have come along, once again I have marvelled at the devotion of those who have compiled them. Just think of the time they must have spent in swotting up the material,· just for example, the feature of Bill Loftl;I and Derek Adley in the Sexton Blake Circle section. Mark the care they have taken to get their statements correct. The same applies to the rest of our loyal band. There are several new names in the "Who's Who". I shall particularly appreciate their comments in due course. Nor must I forget to express my regrets to those contributors whose. articles have had to be unavoidably held over. Now the old, old wish. "A Very Happy Christmas am Prosperous New Year to all at home and overseas."

Chimes at rtlllian(qht by LESLIE V, ROWLEY -r,-****** LT:IOUGHI have long passed the age when 'hearing the chimes at midnight' ceased to be a novelty, the fascination to be found in reading of the nocturnal happenings at Greyfriars School is as fresh today as it was in r,r-wthe far-off days of innocent youth. ) _ . · ~r others there is the call of the closely-contested sports events on "'=- Little Side; the feud between the Famous Five and the 1knuts' of High­ cliffe; the ragging of Coker; the pilfering activities of W,G, Bunter or the japing in the French set and the many other activities that took place - and still take place - twixt rising bell and dorm, But for me there is the excitement of the darkened shadows, the sigh of the sea and the boom of the late hour struck in reverberating tones from the old clock tower. ~ Gerald Assheton Loder in the story "Harry Wharton Declares War" provides the excitement of the type I have in mind, The bully of the Sixth has returned after a night with his sporting cronies at 'The Cross Keys' - leaving most of his cash and the last remnants of his temper behind him, He finds the lobby door barred, the window of his study fastened and the face of Harry Wharton grinning out at him, One ean well imagine the feelings of Loder, The junior he has so often persecuted has the whiphand, Expulsion stares the prefect in the face, But it transpires that Wharton (in a mood more in character with that of the 'Bounder), will allow Loder admission providing the bully writes a document stating that he will get Quelch to let Wharton off a detention in return for being let in after a midnight spree at the 'Cross Keys 1 • Well, no-one sheds any tears for dear Gerald or pities him for the anxiety he must suffer for the rest of the story, Greyfriars could have done without its Loder, perhaps. Arthur Woodhead Carne could have worn the blackpiard's cloak with ease, Herbert Vernon-Smith - another doughty contender for the pub-haunting stakes, is a different proposition, Greyfriars without its 'Bounder' would have been a much duller I place indeed, Late hours and Smithy were constant companions and there are many instances on record of excursions to 'The Three Fishers' and 'The Cross Keys'. On just as many occasions have I shared an anxious vigil in the silent dormitory with Tom Redwing, sighing with relief at the following dialogue "Is that you, Smithy?" "Shut up, you ass, Do you want the whole school to know that I've been breaking bounds?" hill Now and then a note of irony would prevail when the 'Bounder' - absent on other business - would have the crimes of others laid to his charge, In "Loder Looks for Trouble", Loder is attacked and left unconscious in the doorwey of the headmaster's Page 4 --------· study. Smithy, returning to the dormitory, finds himself destined for 'punny' and an early train home the following day. But of course, the worst never happens - thanks to the _loyalty of Red.wing and the unmasking of the real culprit Randolph Crocker. 1 1 299 et seq Jim (Dick the Penman) Valentine was typical of a number of crook~d youths who underwent almost miraculous refonnation at the school and who brought in their train a number of ex-colleagues who would have them return to less legal but more profitable occupation, In the case of Valentine we have characters like Nosey Clark and Nutty Nixon. In this series there is an excellent example of Mr. Richards' gift for blending drama with comic relief, Messrs. Clark and Nixon are adrift in the House - and so is Horace James Coker. The disturbance brings Prout and Quelch to the Remove dormitory at two in the morning to indulge in typical cross-talk as to which members of which form are responsible. b.fil William George Bunter having purloined a pie from Study 13, and the owner of that pie, Wun Lung, having inferred that the pie contained a cat, snails and slugs, the stage is set for another midnight drama, The 'sinister Dr, Syn' arrives to abduct the Chinese junior and for once the fat Owl comes in useful, Unable to sleep because of cat, nails and slugs (real or imagined), Bunter heaves a pillow at the doctor and rouses the rest of the form, who put the disturbance down to nightmare caused by the pie, This is but one of the many nocturnal disturbances in which Bunter has been involved, Dig for your treasure and you will find them, 1...211 I have it on sound legal authority that Dr. H.H. Locke, Mr, H.S. Quelch and Horace James Coker were guilty of being accessories to crime in giving shelter to the pick-pocket, 'Skip'. Richard Bullivant, as he turns out to be, should have been handed over immediately to Inspector Grimes. Fortunately this exercise of author's license allows us to enjoy the prospect of a willing young rogue having being inveigled into the school by the fathead Coker, roaming the deserted (?~ corridors of the H.ouse at midnight, But the influence of the school is already upon the young rascal and instead of robbing Prout he saves Coker from a brutal attack from the inevitable ex-crony (see under Valentine).

  • Robin Hood Text Focus: Information Text (750L) STAGE 3
    Unit focus: Robin Hood Text focus: Information Text (750L) STAGE 3 Who Was Robin Hood? We’ve all heard of Robin Hood. He’s possibly one of the most famous outlaws in English history. But did he ever actually exist? Is he more myth than man? Read on to fi nd out. Early Beginnings In the Middle Ages, lots of stories were told in song. These were called ballads. The earliest ballads that talk about Robin Hood are from the 15th century. However, there is a ballad from 1370AD that talks about poems about Robin Hood, but it doesn’t menti on him directly. Lots of the things we now associate with Robin didn’t appear back then. There were no Merry Men and no Maid Marian. These were all added in the following centuries as the story was passed along. Stealing From The Rich Everybody has heard that Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor. Unfortunately, this might not have been quite true. If he existed, Robin was defi nitely an outlaw at some point in his life. Most outlaws didn’t only steal from the rich, though. They’d take money from anybody passing by. There is a good chance that he may have been generous with his takings. He might have shared it amongst his own band of outlaws, but it’s unlikely he would share it with everybody else. The Legend So how much of what we know is true? King Richard and King John were very real. In fact, John did succeed in taking the throne while King Richard was fi ghti ng in the Crusades.

Download date: 02. Oct. 2021 Introduction Aims and rationale According to the Oxford Encyclopaedia of Children’s Literature (on-line edition, 2006), the term ‘school story’ refers to a distinct literary genre in which ‘school is not just a backdrop but rather is the raison d’être of the novel’. It is a genre with a long pedigree. The first text of its kind is generally held to be Sarah Fielding’s The Governess; or, Little Female Academy (1749), a book which was very favourably received and which provided a model for a significant number of the children’s stories produced during the century following its publication. Sue Sims and Hilary Clare (2000) have identified over thirty such books for girls which appeared between 1749 and 1857, while Robert Kirkpatrick (2006) estimates that over a hundred stories set in boys’ schools were written during the same period.

  • Local Legends, Places and Walks Within 2.5 Miles of Kings Clipstone
    Robin of Sherwood "Lythe and listin, gentilmen, That be of frebore blode; I shall you tel of a gode yeman, His name was Robyn Hode." -A Gest of Robyn Hode Local legends, places and walks within 2.5 miles of Kings Clipstone Includes maps of the local path network and Sherwood Pines Forest Park The Robin Hood legends may be just story telling, but they are still important historically because they were the popular culture of the late mediaeval period. In 1377 the first written reference was made to rhymes about Robin that already existed. Outlaws were just that, outside the law and its protection; they could be hunted by anyone. According to different versions Robin had been a yeoman, a knight and an earl before becoming an outlaw. Walter Bower, a chronicler in the early 1400’s, calls Robin a “cut-throat”. By the 1460’s Robin and his band are said to have “infested Sherwood and other law-abiding areas of England with continuous robberies.” In the early tales Robin's main targets were not the ruling classes, but figures of medieval corruption, like bishops, abbots and the sheriff. It was the mediaeval ‘May Games’ that turned Robin into a mythological figure. At the May Games, Robin was often portrayed as the King of the May or Summer King, leading the procession. King ‘Robin’ and his followers from the town or church would go to another community and collect money. Perhaps the church gave the money collected to the poor, giving rise to the tales of that Robin and his merry men robbing ‘from the rich to give to the poor’.

  • Robin Hood As Much As Possible
    Issue 34 ∙ April-May 2010 . LeftLion Magazine Issue 34 contents April - May 2010 editorial Youths and ducks, If you’ve read any of the thirty-three previous issues of LeftLion, you’ll know that we’ve avoided covering the subject of Robin Hood as much as possible. There’s a good reason for that; because, like you, we’ve always known that there is far more to the Motherland than some bloke arsing about in Sherwood Forest, and we’d sooner give the less bigged-up avenues of Nottingham culture a shine. There are many reasons why we decided to cave in and roll out a massive tribute to the Hooded Man this ish. For one, it’s because of the resurgence of pride in our mythical lore. For two, it’s a reaction to the disgusting attempt by 9 16 28 the North to nick our local hero (hey, Yorkshire; we gave the world the greatest and most enduring goodies-versus- baddies story ever.
