Another lovely nostalgic trip with the teachers and pupils of the Chalet School; there were two strands to the story the arrival of Elisaveta and a new Matron. 

 

I was hoping that Matron would stick around a bit longer as she was such a great foe - she was the one you would boo and hiss at in the pantomime - I too wanted to be a member of the Society for the Suppression of Matron (S.S.M.)!  Ms. Brent Dyer includes some exciting escapades which the setting of the Tyrol lends itself so well to and Jo is always up to the task and normally in the thick of everything.
