Glengarry Schooldays is a novel written by Ralph Connor that was first published in 1902. The story is set in the late 1800s and follows the life of a young boy named Neil MacRae who attends a boarding school in the Glengarry region of Ontario, Canada. The novel is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and perseverance. Neil is initially homesick and struggles to fit in at the school, but he eventually finds his place among his classmates and becomes a leader among them. The book also touches on the political and social issues of the time, including the tensions between English and French Canadians, as well as the struggles of the Indigenous people who lived in the area. Overall, Glengarry Schooldays is a classic Canadian novel that offers a glimpse into the life of a young boy growing up in a rural community during a time of great change and upheaval. It is a heartwarming and inspiring story that has resonated with readers for over a century.The first days of that week were days of strife. Murdie Cameron and Bob Fraser and the other big boys succeeded in keeping in line with the master’s rules and regulations. They were careful never to be late, and so saved themselves the degradation of bringing an excuse. But the smaller boys set themselves to make the master’s life a burden, and succeeded beyond their highest expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
