Introduction
P.G. Wodehouse’s “Keeping It From
Harold” is an interesting story that
highlights the psychology of a ten-year
old boy called Harold and his parents
who feel their child is a “prodigy” and
don’t want him to know that his father
is boxer, fearing it would hurt his
sensitive mind. However, the child has
normal interest in sports specially
boxing.
