description: Set at the fictional public school of Wrykyn, The Gold Bat tells how two boys, O'Hara and Moriarty, tar and feather a statue of the local M.P. as a prank. They get away with it, but O'Hara has borrowed a tiny gold cricket bat belonging to Trevor, the captain of the cricket team, and after the escapade he discovers that the trinket is missing. Schoolboy honor is at stake, as Trevor and friends pull out all the stops trying to retrieve the gold bat. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
