The School at the Chalet by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer
4.0
The first book in the Chalet School series (which comprises an incredible 60 volumes). I decided to re-read the series this year - or what books I can get hold of, as many of them are out of print - and do it in order.
In School at the Chalet we meet English sisters Madge (in her early twenties) and Joey Bettany (a twelve year old). Madge has decided to start a boarding school in Austria, in a small chalet in the mountains, with Joey as her first pupil. The school develops in leaps and bounds in this first book - many students are introduced, expeditions are undertaken, and the scenery and "fresh mountain air" of Austria is lovingly described. A terribly fun book.
