Meredith and Co. is a classic children's novel with a school setting by George Mills.
Meredith and Co. and its sequel, King Willow (1938), were popular from their initial publications, through at least one reprinting in the late 1950s.
The novel follows the adventures of Meredith (Muggs), a Sixth Form prefect at fictional Leadham House Preparatory School in England, and the adventures he has with his friends Hawk, Pongo, Clayton, Pigface, Renton, and Murray as well as a ubiquitous and beloved bulldog named Uggles.
The text was originally published in 1933 by Oxford University Press, London, and was illustrated with plates by C. E. Brock.
According to Dr. Thomas Houston of Windlesham House School, Brighton, Meredith and Co. was exceptional as it "captured the idiom of pupils during the interwar period more accurately than any other novel.
