Stalky & Co‪.‬

A keeper’s gun cracks across the furze, and a fox plunges between Stalky’s legs toward the cliff. Minutes earlier, Stalky had turned a threatened raid on the boys’ forbidden hut into an expedition in the name of science.

At a British boarding school perched above the sea, Stalky, Beetle, and McTurk are experts at finding trouble—and at making authority look the fool. When their hidden retreat is discovered, Stalky’s quick thinking wins them a new freedom to roam; but a quiet afternoon among the cliffs brings them face to face with a keeper, a gun, and a very lively fox. Kipling’s school tales mix sly plotting and irreverent banter with a sharper edge than the usual schoolboy prank. How far can Stalky’s ingenuity take the three friends before their luck runs out?
