    Do you mean that there are other Billy Bunter stories? I'm not familiar with this character. This must be a series a bit like "school boy adventures". Entertaining look at English boys' schools . Thank you for posting.

      It does tell me a great deal about B.B. Thank you for the posting; it answers many questions.

      These are stories similar to the 'boys' own paper' ones that English youth enjoyed so much. In doing some research on this series of stories from other sources, it seems that the stories are read just as much today as in the 20 and 30s and by young AND old. These tales are not at all similar to the sex crazed tripe one sees read today. How refreshing.
