The pioneer of modern schoolgirls' stories, Angela Brazil changed the course of juvenile fiction. She penned exciting and relatable narratives from the characters' point of view, which were intended primarily as entertainment rather than moral instruction. Over time, Brazil developed her own brand of boarding school stories, which were commercially successful and widely read across the world. This eBook presents Brazil’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
