After the chaos of last term (Ribblestrop), English boarding school Ribblestrop's headmaster is keen on getting the spring term off to a good start. But with the unplanned acquisition of a zoo and a suspicious new chaplain, one can only expect wild adventures ahead. Dahl fans who can get through this sequel's drawn-out plotting will appreciate Mulligan's understated humor and absurdity.
