The Lonely Unicorn

Though he never achieved the fame of his younger brother Evelyn Waugh, Alec Waugh was a prolific writer who found his niche in crafting often-autobiographical, sometimes-scandalous stories about boys attending British public schools. The Lonely Unicorn is a lovely and well-wrought coming-of-age novel that follows protagonist Roland Whately from the halls of academia out into the wider world.
