Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Head of Kay's" by P. G. Wodehouse is a novel published in 1905. Set at the fictional Eckleton public school, the story follows Kennedy, who unexpectedly becomes head boy of Kay's, the school's most unruly house. Caught between a tactless housemaster and rebellious students who resent his appointment, Kennedy must restore order through boxing matches, reconcile with the demoted former head, and unite the house through cricket, rugby, and determination in this spirited tale of schoolboy politics and rivalry.
