''The Fifth Form at St. Dominic's'' (published 1881) is the best known of the school stories by the late nineteenth century author Talbot Baines Reed. The stories as well as the book were written for the ''Boy's Own Paper'' and published by the Religious Tract Society, with illustrations by Gordon Browne. Reed had no personal experience of a public school education himself; consequently, the book lacked some of the realism of other comparable books like ''Tom Brown's Schooldays'' and ''Eric, or, Little by Little''. However, the book was written with great enthusiasm and it started a tradition of boarding school stories in British juvenile fiction that lasted until the end of World War II. ==References== * Carpenter, Humphrey and Mari Prichard.
