I was given this book earlier this year, but only now got a chance to look at it. An amusing, somewhat risque version of Dick Beresford`s time at Boarding School, which is probably a mixture of fact, fiction and downright imaginative story telling.
Currently available on Amazon for anyone that would like a copy.

We are sad to announce that Melba Pearl Clancy, nee Beresford of Queensland, Australia has passed away at the grand age of 101 years and 6 months. Melba has been a stalwart of the Beresford Family Society and the Beresford Family Society of Australia since the very early days in the 1980`s and was still carrying out BFSA duties right up to the day she died. Our thoughts go out to all her family.

Helen Jean Berrisford MBE. Red Cross Welfare Officer. Born 21st July 1914. Died 24th April 2011. Born in Draycott, near Derby, Derbyshire. Daughter of James William Berrisford and Millie Hill.

Do you think that, way back in the early 1900's when they were writing it, the Reverend William Beresford and Samuel Beresford could ever have imagined copies of their 'Beresford of Beresford 'Part 1- A History of the Manor of Beresford' would still be in print in 2026, could be ordered on something called the internet ( www.beresfordfamilysociety.org) or bought at the BFS Spring Gathering on the 16th May?

Sadly, 'whilst the last sheets were in the press death carried off Mr. Samuel B. Beresford ' but copies of the original 1908 publication, now bound in modern day covers in red or green, are available

There is something special about the look, the feel, the smell , the turn of phrase of these books and, having survived through several generations, wouldn't it do justice to William and Samuel to be able to pass them on to future ones?
