This book is an absolute work of genius. I really doubt if anyone, anywhere, has written so well about boarding school life. It's not just the school life, though - it's Willans' wry observations on so many features of society. Although the book was first published in the 1960s, I did not consider it dated. Every line in it is utterly hilarious, and it is further enhanced by the wonderful illustrations of Ronald Searle.
