From his confusion and isolation, through rebellious school escapades and relationships with fellow students, Alec Waugh reveals his own deep criticism of a system forcing pupils to conform to flawed ideals, and the inevitable consequences of thrusting thirteen year old children and eighteen year old adolescents together. The book caused a storm of controversy at the time and was banned in many schools. Today it can be rightly seen as a controversial comment on public school life, and a classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alec Waugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1448200520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781448200528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.77d","brand":"Alec Waugh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986237456639,"sku":"9781448200528","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6bd3f44-3a8e-41c2-8a30-6a9d4f03f8bd.jpg?v=1683282163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-loom-of-youth-alec-waugh-9781448200528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
