St Clare's 9 Exciting School Stories

Having always been an Enid Blyton fan, I bought these for my daughter for us to read together. Some of the language needs explaining (they were written in the 40s I believe!)She loves them as much as I do.

Old school, in every sense, but peel away the 1940s vocabulary and class-obsessions, and you'll find some solid morality tales that still resonate with the woes of school children today: How to find a sense of self-worth, how to treat others, how to do the right thing, how to make friends and help others to help themselves... My 9-year-old daughter is transfixed. While the white house on the hill, with its cloistered community of girls in their cosy common rooms, may be far removed from reality in 2015 (well, for the majority at least), Blyton's tales of girls learning how to get along can be applied to any playground. Just be prepared to smile every time they earnestly say: ' Top hole!' 'Super!' and 'I say, you're an absolute brick!'.

A Christmas present for my clever great granddaughter who is so good at reading

Memories of her childhood for my wife.

My 8 year old daughter really wanted these after reading malory towers which she loved sooo much, st clares were similar but she loved them just as much and could never put them down, different stories and characters, would def recommend

Brilliant classic books! I bought these for my seven year old daughter who loves them as I did when I was small.

Takes me back to my school days when stories times were read just for fun.

I bought these for my daughters to read and I had read them all by the time they were on the second. I loved re reading them. They arrived on time and were packaged well.
