Published between 1925 and 1970, the series moves from European reconciliation after the Great War, through a second global conflict to a post-war world increasingly defined by increased secularity and emerging consumerism. Reproducing cover illustrations, Miles Booy's book examines both those issues which author Elinor M. Brent-Dyer consciously explored (such as the exceptional \u003ci\u003eThe Chalet School in Exile\u003c\/i\u003e, which she sought to explain the Nazi occupation of Austria to her young readers) and those aspects of the text which must be read symptomatically. This is a book which will engage students with historical and cultural interests beyond children's literature. With barely a midnight feast in sight, but much anxiety about social change, it's a familiar genre, but not as you think you know it. Hurry up, new girls, class is about to begin...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiles Booy\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar who lives in Stafford, UK, with his wife and son.
