Books!

[ailbhe]

So I've read a stack of Antonia Forest - must get someone to take them to the post office - and am working on Chalet School. The Forest I've read are, from memory:

Autumn Term
End of Term
Attic Term
The Thuggery Affair
Run Away Home
The Ready-Made Family (and boy was THAT distressing!)
Falconer's Lure
Peter's Room

Want: The Marlows and the Traitor, The Cricket Term

I fully intend to start buying them to own. They're simply ripping, or gear, or similar, depending on what year they were written in. I was surprised to find how many of them I'd read before, when I was 13 and in the middle of a custody case. I'd read Autumn Term, Attic Term, End of Term, and Thuggery, and possibly some others - it's hard to be sure.

I'm going to try to read the Chalet School books in order; many editions have the numbers helpfully printed on the spines.

my sister and I had a lot of chalet school books, they're in my parents' loft now. I remember trying to read them in order, but a lot of books for some reason were not in print. We had e.g. books 10, 11 and 12, then 15 and 16 because 13 and 14 were no longer available. Good luck with finding them all!
