| Description: | Chalet School staff and girls alike are bemused by one of the oddest new girls the school has ever had. Prunella Davidson "talks like her own great-granny", to quote Betsy Lucy. She is prim and prissy in the extreme, sprinkles her conversation with proverbs and insists on calling her fellow pupils by their full names, which leads to a serious row between her and one 'Helena' Maynard.
February brings a severe flu epidemic which affects around half the girls and but leaves only four fit mistresses to look after them. An expedition to Lake Lucerne nearly ends in tragedy. The annual Sale takes place this term and this time the theme is The Story Of The Willow Pattern. The Sale is followed by a pantomime, also based on the Willow Pattern, and written and performed by the girls at Welsen, the Chalet School's finishing branch.—Goodreads [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Brent-Dyer, Elinor Mary
Elinor M. Brent-Dyer was born Gladys Eleanor May Dyer on April 6, 1894 in South Shields, in the northeast of England. She wrote over a hundred books of children’s literature during her life. From lower middle-class roots, she went to a small private school and became a teacher after attending the City of Leeds Training College. As a teacher, she worked at both public and private schools, and even as a governess. She had an interest in the theater, and her first book Gerry Goes to School (the first in her La Rochelle series) was written in 1922 --for the child actress Hazel Bainbridge. About this time, inspired by a vacation to the Austrian Alps, she wrote The School at the Chalet in 1923 (the first in her Chalet School series). Brent-Dyer continued to teach and tried rather unsuccessfully to run her own school from 1938 to 1948. After this, she quit teaching but continued writing until her death on September 20, 1969 in Redhill, Surrey.
