Catalogue Note: This is the 1986 reissue published by Anchor Publications (Cablegood Ltd) in Bognor Regis. The biography was originally published in 1981 by New Horizon, making this a secondary printing of the text. It is presented in a durable black hardback binding with silver spine lettering. While the 1981 first edition and the 1996 Bettany Press paperback revisions are more frequently encountered on the open market, this 1986 Anchor hardcover reissue is relatively scarce. It serves as a highly desirable reference for collectors of the genre, though this particular copy is offered without its dust jacket. Behind the Chalet School is the pioneering and definitive biography of Elinor M. Brent-Dyer, the prolific author behind one of the most beloved and enduring series in girls' school fiction. Written by Helen McClelland, the biography offers a fascinating, deeply researched exploration into Brent-Dyerâs complex life, her early musical ambitions, and her eccentricities. McClelland masterfully traces the real-world inspirations for the books, including the Austrian Tyrol village of Pertisau, and examines how Brent-Dyerâs personal experiences and evolving worldview shaped the adventures of Madge Bettany, Jo, and the sprawling Chalet School community over forty-five years. A vital companion piece for any dedicated Chaletian. N/A (illustrateur).…
