The Gold Bat

About “The Gold Bat”

The book is set at Wrykyn, a school located half a mile outside a town that shares its name. It centers on the school's Field Sports Committee and the complaints from students and former students regarding the poor condition of the dressing-rooms used by the first, second, and third fifteen teams, particularly the lack of basic amenities such as hair-brushes and combs, and the failure of the water supply during a match.
