Summary "A Prefect's Uncle" by P. G. Wodehouse is a humorous novel written during the early 20th century, likely around the early 1900s. Set in a public school, the narrative follows the experiences of a student named Gethryn and the unexpected arrival of his younger uncle, Farnie. The book explores the dynamics of school life, authority, friendship, and the comic misadventures that ensue from Farnie's cheeky and unpredictable personality. The opening of the book introduces readers to the school environment, focusing on Gethryn's interactions with his peers, particularly his friend Marriott. As the new term begins, the boys are busy discussing the various characters within their school, including the challenges facing their house, and the unexpected challenge of Farnie's arrival. Gethryn learns of his uncle's presence and struggles with the implications of having a younger guardian at the school, particularly one who reveals his troublesome and rebellious nature. The tone is light-hearted and playful, filled with witty banter and vivid descriptions of school life, setting the stage for a tale of mischief and camaraderie.
