Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"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.
