I found this enjoyable. It's actually my first Biggles book, but not my first old-style British boarding school fiction. It's a bit different from others in the genre because there's less emphasis on the school life (although Biggles gets bullied and has to fight back against bigger boys) and more emphasis on adventure. It's told in the form of short stories, finishing with a longer story, which was my favorite, although I also enjoyed the war maneuvers with the cadet corps.

Some enjoyable tales about Biggles early life. The chronology doesn't quite fit but thats a minor issue, a bigger issue is how often he has to kill dangerous animals. Good old fashioned boys own adventure.
