Salinger began writing stories at school in the mid-1930s, but none of those written

before 1939 are known to exist now. He was not a good student. He was dismissed from the fashionable McBurney School in New

York and sent to Valley Forge Military Academy, the model for Pencey Prep in The

Catcher in the Rye (1951).
