''The White Feather'' is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published on 9 October 1907〔McIlvaine, E., Sherby, L.S. and Heineman, J.H. (1990) ''P.G. Wodehouse: A comprehensive bibliography and checklist''. New York: James H. Heineman, p. 17. ISBN 087008125X〕 by Adam & Charles Black, London. It is set at Wrykyn school, scene of Wodehouse's earlier book ''The Gold Bat'' (1904), and the later ''Mike'' (1909). Like many early Wodehouse novels, the story first appeared as a serial in the boys' magazine ''The Captain'', between October 1905 and March 1906. The phrase "white feather" is a reference to cowardice. == Plot == When Sheen, a quiet and studious boy, finds himself facing a street brawl between boys of Wrykyn and those of St. Jude's, their sworn enemies, he slips away to safety to avoid the wrath of his masters. However, his cowardliness is noticed by his fellows, who send him to Coventry. In order to save his reputation, he must train secretly under boxing legend Joe Bevan. Can he overcome the many obstacles in his path and restore the school's honour in the ring?
