Next up: To Serve Them All My Days by R. F. Delderfield. This is the story of the son of a Welsh miner who is invalided out of WWI with "shell-shock" and becomes a teacher in a small, remote public school. Which doesn't begin to do it credit. I read this 30 years ago, as well as watching the BBC/PBS version of it. But I really remember very little of it and am very much looking forward to this reread.
