Description
An amusing and exciting story of boarding-school life.
When St. Margaret’s School was transplanted from London to Highcross Chase, a lovely old house in the heart of Somerset, the girls little thought what a difference to their ordinary humdrum school like the advent of the Loring family would make.
The school soon finds itself involved in what seems to be an inexplicable mystery, with strange and sometimes frightening happenings occurring without apparently any rhyme or reason. Surprise follows surprise, and the solution is finally arrived at by the merest chance, arising out of a hilarious trial held by the Fourth Forms to fill in a wet afternoon.
As an introduction, Marian Pope, one of the author’s nieces, has written a fascinating article with extracts from Gwendoline Courtney’s correspondence with her publishers about this title.
