"Tell England: A Study in a Generation" by Ernest Raymond is a story that follows three boys—Rupert Ray, Archibald Pennybet, and Edgar Gray Doe—as they grow up together in a public school during the early 1900s. The book seems to focus on the powerful bonds of friendship, the clashes of rivalry, and how these boys change as they become young men ready to face a changing world on the cusp of war. We see the world through Rupert Ray's eyes as he remembers his school days and everything his grandfather taught him, and it sets a reflective mood as we get to know the push-and-pull between the friends, especially Pennybet as he tries to be the dominant one among them, and Doe, who shows bravery and a kind heart. The story hints that their friendships will be tested as the shadow of war begins and they ready to face the future together.
