Bookworm: A Memoir of Childhood Reading
| Author | Lucy Mangan |
| ISBN | 0224098853 |
When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up new worlds and cast light on all the complexities she encountered in this one.
She was whisked away to Narnia – and Kirrin Island – and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The Bettanys on The Home Front
| Author | Helen Barber |
| ISBN | 9781847452 |
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.
Back home in Taverton, Madge is...
