From Hackney to Horsham - Arnold David

This is an autobiography by a schoolmaster looking back to his birth in 1933, one week after the Kray twins, and on through the war, life at school, the army and Oxford, to forty-two years working in schools and colleges.

It may interest former pupils and staff of Christ’s Hospital, where he went to school, Clifton College, where he started teaching, Quintin School, in St John’s Wood, and Stowe, at both of which he was Head of History, King George V School, Southport, where he was the Headmaster, and Collyer’s in Horsham, where he was the Principal before retiring in 1999.
