Contents

  • A sad day dawned for Billy Bunter (though his sadness was not generally shared by others at Greyfriars) when Mr. Bunter decided that Bunter was wasting his time at the ancient school and had better be started on an office career. It was not quite so bad as it might have been however;Billy Bunter's job was to be assistant to the local manager of the Comet Copra Co. on the South Sea island of Lololo.
