Excerpt from The Schoolmaster's Stories: For Boys and Girls Some years ago there was a party of forty or fifty boys who met at my house once a week, and to them I often told stories. They sat on the arms of my chair, hung themselves over the back of it, squatted by my feet on the floor, and leaned on one another's shoulders. I noticed that they were particularly eager for stories that had the smell of the frontier about them. I believe I have told in this book some of the very stories that used to amuse these good fellows, who got a great hold on my heart by listening to my stories and liking them. Dear boys! I thought of dedicating the book to them, but they are all gone. Not dead - I did not say that But in five or six years every rascal of them has shot up into something like a young man. Some of them are raising little patches of faint-looking beard on their upper lips, and some of them are nearly six feet high. Think of dedicating a story book to sophomores, and store-clerks, and such like! Its a way boys have. Just when you think you've got a boy, he turns to a man. Boys and tadpoles are uncertain things. There are some queer little improbable, unbelievable, half-fairy-story sort of things here, which I have often given in small doses to girls. They have generally taken them as kindly as they would have taken sugar-plums or pickles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

'The Story of a Great Schoolmaster' is a biography of Frederick William Sanderson by H. G. Wells. It is the only biography Wells wrote. Sanderson was a personal friend, having met Wells when his sons George Philip and Frank Richard, became pupils at Oundle School, of which Sanderson was headmaster. After Sanderson died while giving a lecture at University College London at which he was introduced by Wells, the famous author agreed to help produce a biography to raise money for the school. But after disagreements emerged with Sanderson's widow about his approach to the subject, Wells withdrew from the official biography and published his own work separately.

This is H. G. Wells' 1924 biography of Frederick William Sanderson, "The Story of a Great Schoolmaster". Frederick William Sanderson (1857 - 1922) was the headmaster at Oundle School between 1892-1922 and was a an esteemed reformer of education at Oundle and Dulwich College. Wells was a close friend of Sanderson's, and even sent his own sons to his school. Contents include: "Sanderson the Man", "The Modernisation of Oundle School", "The Replacement of Competition by Group Work", "The Re-Establishment of Relations Between School and Reality", "The Growth of Sanderson Shown in His Sermons and Scripture Lessons", "The War and Sanderson's Propaganda of Reconstruction", et cetera. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
