Description
Gay from China at the Chalet School (called Gay Lambert at the Chalet School in the badly cut Armada paperback edition) is the 18th title in the Chalet School series. The back cover of this edition reads:
“How Gay Lambert fought and won her battle against a school tyrant is told in this latest volume of the Chalet School Series. Gay had a stout heart but a kind one, and did much to cheer the path of her friend Jacynth Hardy. Without a doubt the reader will agree with the girls of the Chalet School in making ‘Gay from China’ the deserving winner of the Margot Venables Prize for ‘the girl who has done most to help other people.”
As well as the complete text of the first edition, this book also includes a brief biography of Elinor Brent-Dyer, the full publishing history of the story, a complete listing of all the Chalet School titles and a completely new short story by Katherine Bruce titled “Sybil’s Darkest Hour”.
