The English Teacher (Novel)
After the presumed death of Mr Henry Barraclough, seven school exercise books, written in his own hand, were found among his effects. They hold some clues as to the state of his mind, at and after the time of his resignation from Effingham School, but they do not cast any further light on his mysterious disappearance in June 1996.
The accusation of sexual impropriety that brought his brilliant teaching career to a premature close has not been supported by any evidence. Later investigations indicate that it may well have been completely spurious.
These writings are offered to the public by some of Henry Barraclough's grateful former pupils. We are publishing them as a fond and respectful memorial to a man who may, we believe, be more sinned against than sinning.
