[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 1938243, member: 487111"] [I]To Serve Them All My Days[/I] is my favorite Delderfield. I have read it about 3 times and I also love the TV series. It was on PBS here, so maybe on the BBC or ITV there? It is also on YouTube. [MEDIA=youtube]z3G3L1za05k[/MEDIA] I think it was the first time I saw Frank Middlemass, whom I also loved in [I]War and Peace[/I] and [I]As Time Goes By. [/I] Another school story I love is [I]Tom Brown's Schooldays, [/I]and its sequel, [I]Tom Brown at Oxford. [/I]The former was also a really good TV series. If you like school stories you might love Owen Johnson's books set at the Lawrenceville School near Princeton, New Jersey, in the early 1900s. A movie was made based on them,[I] The Happy Years.[/I] I am very glad to read about Warwick Deeping's [I]Sorrell and Son. [/I]I will try to find a copy. I first saw it when I worked as a page at my local library but I haven't read it yet. It's nice to meet someone who has heard of it and read it. :) And here I was coming to this thread because I haven't been able to find anything good to read! [/QUOTE]
