Welcome to Litsy!

“ I will not be treated with rudeness by a parcel of school-girls, who mistake vulgarity for wit.” - ouch! 😯

A couple of my current reads. 😊

Really good to see a school story told from the point of view of the teacher.

Royalty is making friends with Joey and her buddies, but she isn't spoiled by the experience. Lots of action, too.

#SundayFunday @ozma.of.oz such a lovely prompt! So many childhood favorites, specially nearly everything Enid Blyton has written!

Both Rosamund and Joan try to fit in with differing degrees of success. Slightly unusual school story in that it featured two main characters settling in.

Charts the progress of a talented young musician and the sacrifices required for greatness. Very thought provoking.

Naturally there are some quite terrifying moments in this book, given that the girls are fleeing the Nazis. Even so, I was struck that it didn't pull any punches in a book aimed at children.

Eustacia is pretty unpromising even by the standards of Chalet School newbies.

This is where I feel like the chalet school series really gets into its stride after the excitement of the first book setting the scene and characters.
