Sobre IBD

Songs Out Of School is a book written by Henry Howarth Bashford and published in 1916. The book is a collection of humorous poems and songs that satirize the British public school system during the early 20th century. The poems and songs cover a wide range of topics, including the strict discipline, the academic curriculum, and the social hierarchy of the schools. Bashford, who was himself educated at a public school, uses his experience to provide a witty and insightful commentary on the quirks and foibles of this unique educational system. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of education in Britain and the development of British humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
