The Truants is a novel written by Alfred Edward Woodley Mason and first published in 1904. The story is set in England and follows the lives of three boys who attend a prestigious boarding school. The main character, Richard, is a talented artist who struggles to fit in with the other students and is often bullied. He befriends two other boys, Peter and John, who are also considered outsiders at the school. Together, the three boys form a close bond and begin to skip classes in order to pursue their own interests and passions. As the story progresses, the boys become more and more involved in their truancy and begin to feel the consequences of their actions. They face disciplinary action from the school and their parents, and their friendship is put to the test. Along the way, they each confront personal challenges and struggles, including family issues and romantic entanglements. The Truants is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of friendship, identity, and rebellion. Mason's vivid descriptions of the English countryside and the boarding school environment bring the story to life, and the characters are complex and relatable. The novel has been praised for its realistic portrayal of adolescent friendships and the challenges of growing up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
