Description
This is a revised edition of Helen McClelland’s popular biography. New information has made it possible to give a much fuller picture of Elinor M. Brent-Dyer’s early life and to fill in some of the gaps that remained in her story. One or two old questions have been answered and some ‘missing’ people have been found, including Elinor’s vanished half-brother.
Many sections of the book have been not only revised by expanded; more details are included about Chalet School locations; and a whole new chapter covers Elinor M. Brent-Dyer’s birth centenary and the amazing growth of the Chalet School legend during the 1990s. The book also includes several new illustrations and an appendix on the sometimes problematic chronology of the Chalet School series.
