The Gold Bat

The Gold Bat is a school story by P.G. Wodehouse, set at a public school called Wrykin. Two boys, O'Hara and Moriarty, tar and feather a statue of the local MP for a prank. They get away with it, but O'Hara had borrowed a tiny gold bat belonging to Trevor, the captain of the cricket team, and after the escapade he discovers the trinket is missing. Schoolboy honour is at stake, and the book covers events that term including inter-house rugby matches and the appearance of a mysterious society called the League, as Trevor and friends try to get the gold bat back.
