With Love and Prayers: A Headmaster Speaks to a New Generation

F. Washington Javis

David R Godine, 2003

a memorable read
I don't know Jarvis personally, but these essays are tremendously inspirational especially when you consider that they make up some 25 years worth of talks to the Roxbury Latin students. It's refreshing to hear an educator who freely told students that RL was NOT a college prep school but rather a preparation for leading a moral life. His collection of talks combines anecdotes and encounters ...

Murder at Mount Hermon: The Unsolved Killing of Headmaster Elliott Speer

Walley Comes Closest to "Solving" Speer Murder
As a student at Northfield Mount Hermon in the early 1970s, little was said about the unsolved murder of former Headmaster Elliott Speer. I recall a rumor that the gun used in the killing was somewhere on the bottom of the school's Shadow Lake. Craig Walley's well-researched and -written book examines that rumor and many more in an absorbing murder mystery. Murder at Mount Hermon captures the ...

The Headmaster's Dilemma

Louis Auchincloss

Houghton Mifflin, 2007

Asking for it, dressed like that...?
More devoted fans of this author say this isn't his best work. I've only read a few of his novels and, okay, this isn't AS perfect. It didn't seem like it was set in the 1970s, and the girls didn't seem like girls. The plot was excellent though. Auchincloss tells the reader what it's like to be flattered into agreeing with a sophist, then baits him/her with the figure of Rosina Castor, the ...

A Teacher for the generations
From 1902 to 1968, Frank Boyden was the Headmaster of Deerfield, a private boy's school in the countryside of Massachusetts. When Boyden arrived, the school had 14 students, transportation was by foot or horse drawn wagon, and he intended to stay only long enough to get enough money. 66 years later, Deerfield was one of the leading prep schools in America, the equal to Exeter and Andover. Best ...

The Headmaster Ritual

Taylor Antrim

Mariner Books, 2007

The negative reviews are bizarre
I picked this up at the library and read it over 4 days. It's an entertaining story that alternates between a young teacher in a prep school and the son of the headmaster as they cope with the pressures of prep school life and of the radical headmaster. There's nothing particularly deep about it, but the writing is not bad and I had only good feelings about reading it. It's not really a 5 star ...

The Headmaster's Papers: A Novel

Richard Hawley

Paul S. Eriksson, 2002

Poignant and lovely
This is an epistolary novel, which means that it is composed entirely of a series of letters. It's told from the point of view of boys' school headmaster John Greeve, who writes letters to family, friends, colleagues, and the parents of students over the course of one school year. Letters from John provide an interesting point of view. Events can only be described as he writes about them to ...

Mark H. Mullin

Rowman & Littlefield Education, 2007

Wonderful Memoir read
I found this to be a delightful read - like a memoir - with lots of interesting experiences lived by a very intelligent, spiritual and talented man. His love of wife and family, solid values and belief in Christian education are very heart warming. The path Mark Mullin has walked in this life has been full of challenge, dedication and perseverance. I highly recommend this book, especially to ...

Gillian Cross

Oxford University Press, 2004

A pretty good pre-teen kids story - tense & interesting rather than scary
First published in 1982, this book reads a bit like a cross between Enid Blyton's secret seven and the My parents are aliens TV series, except that here the very odd characters are at school rather than at home. Dinah has just moved to a new foster home where the incumbent boys (particularly older brother Lloyd) are very suspicious of her. Perhaps with good reason, as from the very first day at ...

The Headmaster's Wife A Gregor Demarkian Novel (Gregor Demarkian) by Jane Haddam Windsor Academy. a New England college prep school is the setting for The Headmaster's Wife. Steeped in traditions, distinguished alumni and plenty of money, Windsor seems almost utopian on the surface. Yet, all is not as it may seem! One student appears to be losing his mind or else has some kind of fatal ...

The Demon Headmaster
The Demon Headmaster is a very gripping book. The T.V series has also brought a little bit of life into theseries of books by Gillian Cross. Overall, the epic tales of the Demon Headmaster and his plots and trickery to get hold of Dinah Hunter dipict a whole world of imaginative text in a sort of realistic realism. The book is a great oppurtunity for children of all ages to establish a truly ...
