Beschreibung

Tom Playfair is one in a series of books Fr. Francis Finn, S.J., wrote about Tom Playfair.


Tom is an ordinary American boy, who is sent to St. Maure's Catholic boarding school by his father. While there, Tom learns many lessons and becomes a better boy and a better Catholic, but does not lose his high spirits or sense of fun. As he goes through his duties, classes, and games, he makes many good friends and wins over enemies.


Among his adventures are snowball fights, baseball games, being struck by lightening, winning over the school bully, and capturing a murderer. The story is not without tragedy, as three of Tom's friends die, but it shows how Tom learns and grows from these experiences. This is a book essential to any Catholic boy's bookshelf.
