The Hun's Plumbers

If you enjoyed the classic novel, THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, you should also like THE HUN'S PLUMBERS. These are mostly true stories from the heyday of military schools when parents of means thought they were doing everyone a favor by sending their adolescent sons to be raised by a military institution during those difficult teenage years. The perspective is from one of the cadets who lived and remembers the experience. Living cheek-by-jowl with the usual military school denizens; those one step ahead of reform school, the effeminate types, the academic underachievers, the jocks and the various other sub-categories provided the unvarnished material for a number of inimitable stories.If you enjoyed the classic novel, THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, you should also like THE HUN'S PLUMBERS.
