The Little Bookshop at Herring Cove
The start of something wonderful…

A Chalet School Headmistress
| Author | Helen Barber |
| ISBN | 1904417477 |
As I march through on my re-read, slotting in all the fill-in books as I go, I'm beginning to get a better sense of the different authors and voices who are colouring in the history of Elinor M. Brent-Dyer's Chalet School. Following this re-read of A Chalet School Headmistress, I'm quite confident in saying...
Gillian of the Chalet School
| Author | Carol Allan |
| ISBN | 0953626954 |
Carol Allan does a creditable job in filling in one of the missing terms in Elinor M Brent-Dyer's long-running Chalet School series - she allows the title character of Gillian Linton to come to the fore, so to speak, and creates a story and atmosphere that is at once respectful of and faithful to the rest...
Sisters at the Chalet School
As the Second World War draws to a close, two sets of sisters start at the Chalet School. The Herberts—Bess, Madge, Nan and Ruth—have never been to school before but are eager for the experience. The second group of sisters, Len, Con and Margot, have grown up in the shadow of the school and know exactly...
The Chalet School and Robin
| Author | Caroline German |
| ISBN | 1904417078 |
As I've previously mentioned, writing a fill-in book for a series this long and riddled with factual inconsistencies (with all love and respect to Elinor M. Brent-Dyer) is quite a feat. It involves mining close to 60 books for minute details, and ensuring that none of the invented/new plotlines is significant...
| Author | Adrianne Fitzpatrick |
When ten-year-old Robin Humphries is deemed too delicate to return to the Chalet School on the shores of the Tiernsee (despite its well-deserved reputation for making the health of its pupils the highest priority), the solution is obvious: open an Annexe on the Sonnalpe, close to the famous Sanatorium,...
The Muller Twins at the Chalet School
When Charlotte and Anneliese Muller arrive at the Chalet School, their fellow pupils are puzzled by their behaviour. Why does Charlotte go and hide when she could be skating with her friends on the frozen Tiernsee? What makes Anneliese so scathing about her clever sister's abilities? As they struggle...
The Chalet School and Cornelia
| Author | Katherine Bruce |
| ISBN | 1847452477 |
I enjoyed this and it was an interesting look at Cornelia's character. I did find it a tad frustrating the way Corney seemed to swing back and forth from feeling encouraged and happy to incandescent with rage on what seemed like very little provocation. Also, Corney's story wound up about 70 pages before...
A Difficult Term for the Chalet School
My first Chalet School fill in since Helen McClelland's back in the day. And I enjoyed it and thought the plot and writing were a good match to EBD. I don't remember her using exeat (I first came across it much later) for weekends out, but that was the only think that I really noticed - as I haven't read the whole...
Visitors for the Chalet School
| Author | Helen McClelland |
| ISBN | 0006945953 |
Not one of Elinor M. Brent-Dyer's own titles, but a new story written by the president of The New Chalet Club, following notes left by Brent-Dyer. Patricia Davidson hopes to train as a doctor but is prevented from realising her ambition by her possessive mother. Luckily, on a school trip to the Austrian...
Peace Comes to the Chalet School
| Author | Katherine Bruce |
| ISBN | 1904417795 |
As a rule, I find the Chalet School fill in novels complex. A part of me welcomes their presence as it reflects that readerly hunger of mine for this series, and yet another part of me rampantly dislikes it and begins to think of the dilution of intellectual property and the impingement upon Brent-Dyer's...
The Guides of the Chalet School
| Author | Jane Berry |
| ISBN | 1847450792 |
It is a year since the founding of the Chalet School on the shores of the Tiern See in the beautiful Austrian Tyrol, and the girls are eagerly anticipating the new term.
At their request, a Guide Company is to be formed, and already the excitement is mounting. Soon the girls are immersed in Tenderfoot...
Hilda Annersley: Headmistress

Elinor Brent-Dyer's Chalet School books have been popular for decades, and the characters and events introduced in the series have continued in present day fiction. At the beginning of Gay from China at the Chalet School, we learn that several of the Chalet School mistresses, including Miss Annersley...
The Bettanys on The Home Front

1914, and the Bettany family—fourteen-year-old twins Madge and Dick and their little sister Joey—are enjoying a seaside holiday with their guardian. But the news is disturbing and their happy time is cut short by the announcement that war has been declared.
