		The books were a riot, dealing as they did with the hilarious shenanigans of the greedy Billy Bunter who studied in junior school at a typically British public school called Greyfriars.
		Bunter’s classmates included a sterling gang of characters called Harry Wharton, Johnny Bull, Bob Cherry, Frank Nugent, and an improbably named Indian boy of royal lineage, Hurree Jamset Ram Singh.
		By now, I was beginning to get Bunter flashes, laugh in recollection of his abortive raids on other people’s tuck, grin at Hurree Singh’s atrocious English (‘’the awfulness of the ramifications is splificating, my dear Wharton’’), chuckle over the times the boys ran foul of the forbidding Form Master Mr Quelch.
