The article presents British bookstore chain owner Tim Waterstone's recollections of his schooling and favorite teacher. He attended Tonbridge, which he describes as a minor public school, though he qualifies that by noting inspirational teachers. He recalls the school chaplain's wife, Mrs. Austin, who tutored students in English. He credits her with kindness but also with opening his imagination, inspiring him to analyze stories, and introducing him to authors he might not otherwise have read.
