A very good book INSCRIBED on the front-endpaper, 'To Miss Oxenham/with best wishes for Christmas/from Elinor/Christmas 1935/. In a very good internally repaired dust wrapper with chipping and wear to the spine tips and corners. Elinor Brent-Dyer and Elsie J. Oxenham were influential British authors known for their contributions to children's literature. Brent-Dyer is celebrated for creating the iconic "Chalet School" series, featuring a progressive boarding school's adventures. Her stories emphasised friendship, resilience, and the importance of education. Oxenham, on the other hand, is renowned for her "Abbey Girls" series, which centred around the lives of young women in a supportive community setting.
