King Ted's: A biography of King Edward VII School Sheffield 1905-2005, by John Cornwell
The full book (448 pages) in pdf format can be viewed or downloaded here.
This is an account by George MacBeth, Head prefect in terms 2 and 3 of 1950/51 (Clapton's first terms as head), of his life pre-Oxford, and deals in detail with his time at KES. MacBeth was an accomplished poet and the book is beautifully written.
Roy Hattersley's autobiography (A Yorkshire Boyhood) gives a more prosaic account of Sheffield at the same time, from the viewpoint of a City Grammar lad.
Both books can often be found second-hand from Amazon.com for around £5 in hard-back.
This is a collection of reminiscences published in 1995 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the school. There are contributions from about 90 former and current pupils, the most senior having left KES in 1921, and the most junior being 13 at the time.
The school still has a small number of unsold copies (hardback) of the book. These are for sale at the reduced rate of £10.00 if collected directly from the School or £12.95 including postage.
