Product Description

Synopsis

This lavishly illustrated 224 page volume provides an unforgettable celebration of more than four centuries of Harrow School. It captures the intimate recollections, memoirs and anecdotes of great Harrovians of the past, including Winston Churchill and Lord Byron. As well as first-hand contributions from distinguished Old Harrovians in public life today, including John Mortimer, Edward Fox, Peter de la Billiere, Charles Guthrie and Jeremy Greenstock, plus more recent leavers such as Pen Hadow and James Dreyfus. Harrow covers many of the subjects and activities for which the School is celebrated - cricket against Eton, squash (invented at the School), rugby, swimming in the 'Ducker' and Harrow Football, now an endangered species. The School's history is summarised by historian, Christopher Tyerman and its academic glories celebrated by Murray Last, John Jeremy and others. In addition to some wonderful anecdotes, the text is enlivened throughout by extracts from the school newspaper, The Harrovian, including a hard-hitting interview with Margaret Thatcher at the height of her prime ministerial career. Harrow brings to life this famous English institution.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, 4 Dec 2004

By	"oglcohen" - See all my reviews

This book is beautifully presented, with large numbers of photographs, both modern and historical. As a present harrovian, I can say that it is an accurate reflection on the school, though I feel that it would mainly be of interest to those connected to Harrow. This is the case not because it is not possible to understand the terminology which is well explained, but because I feel that unless you can relate what you are reading to your own experiences, you do not derive the same pleasure that someone who can relate to all the customs and places it describes in such painstaking, but glorious detail. It is a great 'coffee table' book, being a good size and weight and perfect for excited relatives to leaf through and to suddenly shout "Oh look, Oliver! Its you", and then go through the excruciating process of explaining that it's actually a boy in the year above who happens to have brown hair. Apart from this flaw, which is the case with any book which concerns an institution with which you are involved (and in any case, the average reader isn't), Harrow: Portrait of an English School is a brilliant book that I thoroughly recommend.
