Stalky and Company is a novel by Rudyard Kipling that follows the adventures of three teenage boys - Stalky, Beetle, and McTurk - as they navigate their way through life at a British boarding school. The boys are mischievous and rebellious, often getting into trouble with their teachers and fellow students. However, they also possess a keen intelligence and a talent for manipulation, which they use to their advantage in their various schemes and pranks. Along the way, they form a strong bond of friendship and loyalty, and learn valuable lessons about life and leadership. The novel is a humorous and insightful portrayal of adolescence and the British school system, and is considered one of Kipling's most beloved works.In the infinitely petty confederacies of the Common-room, King and Macrea, fellow house-masters, had borne it in upon him that by games, and games alone, was salvation wrought. Boys neglected were boys lost. They must be disciplined. Left to himself, Prout would have made a sympathetic house-master; but he was never so left, and with the devilish insight of youth, the boys knew to whom they were indebted for his zeal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
