George Mills (writer)
George Ramsay Acland Mills (1 October 1896 – 8 December 1972) was a British preparatory schoolmaster and an author of children's adventure stories. His whimsical tales often revolve around boys' preparatory schools in Great Britain and often involve sports like cricket, pranks, and mysteries, as well as a beloved pet bulldog, Uggles. He was born in Bude, Cornwall and died in Devonshire.
==Career as an author==
Mills is listed in the British Library as a "Writer of Tales for Boys".
Books authored by Mills on the shelves of the British Library 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British Library/Integrated Catalogue ) 〕 include ''Meredith and Co.: The Story of a Modern Preparatory School'' (), ''King Willow'' (), ''Minor and Major'' (), and ''St. Thomas of Canterbury'' (). Although Mills never published another book after 1939, he saw his work reprinted for another generation into the late 1950s.
Mills' most famous book, ''Meredith and Co.'', captured the idiom of pupils during the interwar period more accurately than any other novel. Five years later, Mills published a sequel, ''King Willow''. The books followed the maturation and adventures of a cadre of fun-loving boys in fictional Leadham House Preparatory School. Leadham House was based on the teaching experiences of Mills while on the staff at Windlesham House School in Portslade and Warren Hill School in Meads, both in East Sussex, between 1925 and 1933.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Houston, We Have Lift Off )〕
