No I can’t remember who wrote Billy Bunter but Hughes wrote Tom Brown’s Schooldays. You heard of Flashman the Bully? That’s that.

Tom Brown’s Schooldays? Okay, possibly not so well known in Italy.
I read it, it was a school text, at perhaps 14/15. Flashman? The archetypal bully?

It was an awful book, the kind we are obliged to read only at school. Set in a top-notch school (I think it was Rugby), the most famous character (apart from Brown himself) was a boy called Flashman, who was the resident bully. It is little-used but it has entered into general language. If somebody is compared to Flashman, they are a bully.

Thank you for this explanation, 🙏sometimes the books you are forced to read at school, as a child, are not appreciated very much even if they have a certain value
