Wilfrid Sheed was the son of Frank Sheed and Maisie Ward, who founded Sheed & Ward publishers in London and who came from prominent Anglo-Catholic families involved in the vibrant Catholic culture of late-19th and early 20-th century England. This book is a novel about a university student named John Chote, whose experiences of Oxford University in the mid-1950s give us funny and witty insight into modern culture on both sides of the Atlantic.
