The toad that never quite grew up...: ... and the magical pond

About this ebook
The story is that of a teenage foreign student in England during the 1970's, spanning over a few years. It starts with the time in an English boarding school. After getting expelled at the age of sixteen he moves into a house with three other teenagers and starts high school studies. The university studies follow and life experiences flourish.
It is more or less a collection of stories you might tell a friend in a pub. Stories with high a level of juvenescence with very little philosophical repercussions.
