The Fourth of June is the first novelbyDavid Benedictus.

The novel was considered controversial when published in 1962 as it describes scenes of violent bullyingatEton College, unrestrained class warfare and suggestions of schoolboy sexuality. It has some parallels with Tom Brown's School Days.[1] It was adapted into a drama, produced in London in 1964 at the St Martin's Theatre.[2]
