Like all English schoolboys, Felix plays rugby, although it’s more of a duty than a pleasure: he’d much rather be poring over his collection of butterflies or hunting for birds’ nests in the woods. But his father is a firm believer in the virtues of fresh air and team sports, and so Felix’s chaotic bedroom includes this nod to good old English past-times, while a cricket set is stowed away downstairs ready for summer days.
