Hugh Walpole 
Jeremy 

The first of the ’Jeremy’ books, Jeremy introduces us to our hero, at the age of eight. Jeremy and his two sisters, Helen, and Mary, live in the quiet, unassuming town of Polchester. However, Jeremy has a nose for finding quirky characters and, through him, we meet Uncle Samuel, Jampot the nurse, and Hamlet, a stray dog. Semi-autobiographical, ’Jeremy’ is Walpole’s first foray into school-themed books and one that set the template for other authors to follow. Ideal for Walpole fans of all ages.-
