The Enigma of Kidson by Jamie Blackett
Jamie Blackett
The Enigma of Kidson - The Portrait of an Eton Schoolmaster
SIGNED FIRST EDITION
hardback, dust jacket
published, London, Quiller, 2017
Local author Jamie Blackett's book about his Eton schoolmaster Michael Kidson. Move over Mr Chips. Kidson had everything that central casting requires of a legendary schoolmaster: a passion for his subject, a brilliant didactic style, a still walk, a smelly spaniel, breath-taking rudeness, eccentric mannerisms and catchphrases, a maverick attitude towards authority and above all, a deep empathy, loyalty and dedication to his boys.
