Description
David of King's is a witty and well-observed novel of varsity life, set at Cambridge University during the early part of the 20th century. First published in 1924, the book follows the story of David Blaize, a young man navigating his undergraduate life at King's College.
The novel, penned by E.F. Benson, takes up where his earlier schoolboy novel, David Blaize, left off. Over the course of three years, Blaize forms friendships and experiences the cultural and social world of Cambridge University, including encounters with colourful and eccentric dons. This Viewforth Classic edition is a newly prepared and corrected version of the original text, edited with an introduction and notes by Dr. Craig Paterson.
