Though he never achieved the fame of his younger brother Evelyn Waugh, Alec Waugh was a prolific writer who found his niche in crafting often-autobiographical, sometimes-scandalous stories about boys attending British public schools. The Lonely Unicorn is a lovely and well-wrought coming-of-age novel that follows protagonist Roland Whately from the halls of academia out into the wider world.

This work presents an incredible history of the education system in Britain during the 1920s. The writer described the different experiences of a school-going boy with his friends, parents, and teachers. An accurate picture of the life of young learners during the early 20th century is provided through this work.
