E[dward] F[rederic] Benson
Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, archaeologist and short story writer. This book follows on from David Blaize. It's about his life as a student at Kings College, Cambridge, the main entrance of which is sketched on the jacket. There is an amusing review of the novel here.
