Late summer always sees a glut of political books in time for the autumn party conference season.
This year is no different, with a slough of tomes already crossing our politics desk, including a new biography of John Smith by Mark Stuart, Liberals - the History of the Liberal and Liberal Democrat Parties by Roy Douglas and Norman Howard's new account of Labour's 1945 landslide.
So a new book from the former Reuters' Westminster bureau chief John Morrison stands out for variety, if nothing else: a novel, reimagining Blair and his Cabinet cohorts as Edwardian schoolboys in a sort of Billy Bunter/Jennings world of house masters, canings and matrons - complete with mock period illustrations.
Anthony Blair - Captain of School features a charming public schoolboy, his dour Scottish room-mate Brown, the working-class day boy and would-be poet Prescott, the editor of the school newspaper, Campbell, and the bible-quoting headmaster, Dr Bush.
All a long way from Mr Morrison's last book: Reforming Britain - an analysis of constitutional reform under Labour.
