I confess that had the Malory Towers series not been on the agenda for my British Children's Literature module in my next year at university, I shouldn't ever have come to read them.

How wonderful they were, and how they just go to show that the best written books are not restricted by the age of the reader. I imagine my five year old niece would love to hear these tales just as much as I have enjoyed reading them myself over the past month.

Such a pleasant read, I look forward to analysing them in further detail come October.

Luckily, in german this wasn't the last book! They wrote 12 more about Darell and her life at te Mallory Towers. And how she couldn't leave them behind.

Whenever I feel bad, I grab all 18 "Dolly" (Darrell in german) books and read them all over again! Reminding me of my time as a young girl or a teenager!

These books were a part of me growing up and I will always love them!

This was such a wonderful conclusion to the series, and with the girls becoming about the same age as me, I felt I could relate to so many things. The ending was emotional and hopeful, and all I can say is I felt like I grew up with them by reading this, and it's helped me to understand the point of my life I'm at now. As Enid Blyton said: "we've loved knowing you"!
