About this podcast

Tom Playfair; Or Making a Start is a captivating tale penned by a Roman Catholic priest, first published in 1890, and aimed at young readers aged 9-12. The story begins with the spirited 10-year-old Tom Playfair, who is quite a handful for his well-meaning but gentle aunt following the loss of his mother. In an effort to instill discipline and prepare Tom for his upcoming First Communion, his father decides to send him to St. Maures boarding school — a Jesuit-run all-boys academy. Though Tom is less than thrilled about this new chapter, his journey is filled with adventure and mischief, promising that life at St. Maures will be anything but boring.
