Mabel Esther Allan Libri

    11 febbraio 1915 – 14 maggio 1998

    Mabel Esther Allan è stata una prolifica autrice britannica le cui opere hanno spesso esplorato temi della vita scolastica e del balletto. La sua scrittura, influenzata da visioni educative progressiste, infondeva nelle sue narrazioni il suo interesse per la danza popolare e il balletto. La carriera di Allan iniziò nel periodo tra le due guerre e continuò dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, con le sue storie che divennero popolari per le loro accattivanti rappresentazioni dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza. I suoi racconti offrono ai lettori uno spaccato di mondi in cui l'istruzione e l'espressione artistica svolgono ruoli cruciali nello sviluppo dei giovani personaggi.

      Pandora and her friends are dismayed and resentful when a new headmistress brings changes to Bryngarth School in North Wales, but Pandora's younger sister Felicity welcomes the new free regime. Also the new head has three daughters, all of whom are missing their old co-educational school, Clondale - especially the middle one, who is most unhappy due to the unfriendliness of Pandora and her friends. However, against the backdrop of this uneasy term, there are excitements, including the International Eisteddfodd, which brings people from many countries to the Welsh Valley, and also on the camp at the end of term - which nearly ends in disaster.
