The English preparatory school is in the process of being transformed out of all recognition.Gone or at least fast disappearing are the days of congealed porridgedoses of Agarollpetit beurre biscuitsevening chapelbullying and eccentric masters and matrons.Arthur Marshall conducts us through an imaginary day in one such school.He does so with nostalgia and a keen sense of humour.The reader is caught on a knife edge between tragedy and comedy - for such are the ingredients of this book.Mr Marshall's texthoweveris firmly rooted in reality.He has gathered lettersreminiscences from prep school boys and has hunted the pages of published literature to find material which conveys the atmosphere of these strange establishments.He writes of what it was likein recent years or long agoto be packed off from home at a very early age to become a pupil in one of these extremely English institutions.On one thing all seem agreed - all school boys took whatever camewhether agreeable or the converseas being in the natural order of things.Nobody ever dreamt of complainingeither to parents orleast of allto the staff.There was an unconscious conspiracy of silence.It is this which Mr Marshall wishes to break before it is too late. Arthur Marshall was educated at a Hampshire prep school Oundle and at Christ's CollegeCambridge.He was a master and housemaster at Oundle from 1931-54departing only to join the Intelligence Corps during the war.After serving as private secretary to Lord Rothschild he became a full-time journalist and broadcaster in 1964.He has written for the 'Sunday Telegraph''Punch'the 'Listener'the 'Times Literary Supplement' the 'New Statesman'the 'New Standard' and the 'Spectator'.He is also the author of several booksincluding 'Girls Will Be Girls' 1974 and 'I'll Let You Know' 1981.'

Mark Phillips has been catapulted into the spotlight and become a public figure.It is ironic that the man who admits to being shy and would enjoy living a relatively anonymous life in Gloucestershire hasthrough his own sporting ability and marriagefound himself in this position.Captain Mark Phillips has rightly earned himself the accolade of being one of the world's leading three-day-event riders with a riding career that spans twenty years from his days with the Beaufort Pony Club to successes at BadmintonBurghley the Olympic Games and indeed in every major international competition.In this book he talks candidly about the high spots in his life - and the disappointments: the thrill of riding with the Union Jack under his saddle for the first timethe agony of watching the World Championship slip away in 1974 and not being selected for the Montreal Olympics team of 1976of the horses like Rock On Great OvationColumbusPersian Holiday and Lincoln.He speaks also of his love for Princess Annetheir children and their home at Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire of adapting to his role as a member of the most public family in the land and - after the incident in The Mall in 1974 - of living with the ever-present ever-necessary security that surrounds his wife and family.A large section of the book is devoted to the 1981 Badminton Three-Day Event and follows in detail the programme of training for horses and rider.At the event itselfwe are given an insight into the incredibly hard work put in by the groomsthe meticulous planning that goes into all stages of the competition - particularly the formidable cross-country course - and the euphoria in the Phillips' camp when Captian Mark Phillips wins riding Lincoln.A final section on riding techniques is based on Mark Phillips' years of experience and his own schooling with experts. It is clear from the conversations in this book that he is a man with a tremendous sense of humoura sensitive nature allied to an iron - sometimes stubborn - willand the quiet determination to succeed at whatever job he tackles.
