Description

At midday on 31st August, Sedgewick, the new history master, arrives at Blindefellows, former charity school for poor, blind boys, now a second division private school for anyone who can pay.  

The naïve newcomer is quickly taken under the wing of the rumbustious, philandering Japes, master of physics, who soon becomes something of a mentor, though not in an academic sense.

A Blindefellows Chronicle follows the adventures of Sedgewick, Japes and a handful of other unmarried faculty at an obscure West Country boarding school including the closeted headmaster, Reverend Hareton, stalwart Matron Ridgeway and loathsome librarian, Fairchild.

Not my style, as the seemingly main characters felt like too much of a boy's club for me, but I can see how many others will enjoy this.

This is wonderful?! I am genuinely surprised it hadn't crossed my path before now?!

It is a little bit of a slow burn, but once I realised that the short stories were greater than the sum of their parts and should be treated as chapters, rather than isolated chunks, it became utterly delightful. The stories are staged over a number of years which provides endearing character growth and increases emotional investment.

Like many others, my favourite story was the sheep in the library (how could it not be?!)
