The Gold Bat by P. G. Wodehouse

"The Gold Bat" by P. G. Wodehouse is a novel published in 1904. Set at Wrykyn public school, the story follows two Irish students who tar and feather a politician's statue as a prank, accidentally losing a borrowed gold cricket bat in the process. As Trevor, the cricket captain, tries to recover the trinket before it damages his reputation, a mysterious society called "the League" begins terrorizing students and threatening the school rugby team. The novel weaves together schoolboy honor, sporting rivalries, and the search for the missing treasure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
