Mike

A sleepy breakfast at the Jackson home sets the stage for a lively tale of a boy on the brink of a new adventure. Young Mike, notorious for his tardiness and mischievous antics, is about to leave the familiar comforts of home for the famed boarding school of Wrykyn. His family’s chatter—filled with teasing, cricket bragging, and a mother’s gentle scold—offers a warm glimpse into the world he’s about to leave behind.

As the term approaches, the story follows Mike’s reluctant preparation, his uneasy goodbyes, and the quirky personalities that surround him, from his outspoken sister Marjory to the cricket‑obsessed fathers. The humor is gentle yet sharp, capturing the everyday drama of a household where sport and sibling rivalry reign supreme. Listeners will be drawn into the charming chaos of a boy’s first steps toward independence, set against the backdrop of early‑20th‑century English school life.
