The New House Mistress

96pp. 12mo. Br<p>own cloth-covered boards, just a tad rubbed at edges. Unusually good dust jacket, a little chipped at corners and now protected in a Mylar wrapper. Price-clipped. A little spotting internally. Very nice copy of collectible book.

For the middle school at St Helen's, it was a blow when their popular house mistress left at half-term. They decided to give her successor 'the time of her life'. Brent-Dyer was author of the ever-popular Chalet school series but this volume is not part of that series, being set in a different school although it will likely appeal to a similar audience.
