The other two books - ‘The Third Form at St Clare's’ and ‘Kitty at St Clare's’ were written by Pamela Cox are authorized. Both books are based on the third form.Book 4 - ‘The Second Form at St Clare's’ was written by Enid Blyton in 1944 and Pamela Cox’s two authorized books were written in 2000.Unfortunately, none of the books are illustrated except for the title pages :((SEE MY PHOTOS IN CUSTOMER IMAGESI read these St Clare’s books as a child, and now I'm sharing the excitement with the little ones some 60 years later!Yup! This boarding school series is a great read. A much loved Enid Blyton genre that has stood the test of time and I believe ... has inspired a few of today’s popular children’s storytellers.Hope my review and photos were helpful ... Jeffery A.

I love Enid Blyton and grew up on her. She is an amazing author and every child should read her books. As far as the quality of the books go, the book is of decent quality. The cover pictures are not too appealing, but the story is as fresh as ever! Enid Blyton books should be a staple in every book-lover's library!

I read all Enid Blyton books as a child and loved them. I bought them also for my children and am reading them to my grandchildren who all love them. However, I have started reading St Claire and Malory Towers myself on Kindle and still love them. I remember the kids, the tricks, midnight feasts and still wish I had home to boarding school!! I recommend these books for probably 7 years upwards to my grand old age!! The collections are good value having 3 books in one.

Bought for my granddaughter to encourage reading these stories are exiting and keepsa children interested
