In my re-reading of The Chalet School series I think this, the third, is the best so far. The book is split into two halves: The Society for the Suppression of Matron and Elisaveta's Adventure as I think of them. The first is a very amusing account while the second probably had pulses racing when it was first written. Today, knowing that it has a happy ending, the pages still turned quickly.

I've never read the books in series before and I'm enjoying watching Brent-Dyer's writing develop. (
