“I hope she’ll be a fool…”

Beautiful Little Fools refuses that erasure.

This isn’t a love letter to the Roaring Twenties. This is a reckoning.

We gathered the voices Fitzgerald silenced. The dreamers who were left behind.

Launching July 7

George is in the latest TES discussing the bleak picture for Latin in Scottish state schools:

How teachers’ ‘hinterlands’ could keep low-uptake subjects alive
