Rewrites a blight on Blyton's legacy... by golly". The Sydney Morning Herald. 1 July 2012 . Retrieved 22 January 2014.St. Clare's, a girls' boarding school which predates Malory Towers, is described by one parent as "a very sensible sort of school" but it is also a place of madcap schemes, games and jollity.

We have an ongoing theme with Alison too, who is let down by those she worships but goes on to worship others - though unlike Angela, she's otherwise pretty likeable.Blyton was a prolific author of children's books, who penned an estimated 800 books over about 40 years. Her stories were often either children's adventure and mystery stories, or fantasies involving magic. Notable series include: The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, The Five Find-Outers, Noddy, The Wishing Chair, Mallory Towers, and St. Clare's. The Comic Strip's Five Go Mad in Dorset contains the first occurrence of a phrase wrongly attributed to Blyton, "lashings of ginger beer". [130] The series is unusual in that the first three titles all revolve around life in the first form while the other three focus on the second, fourth and fifth forms respectively. It's the start of the Easter Term and Pat and Isabel are looking forward to meeting all their friends at St Clare's once more. The new girls prove to be a source of much amusement, and there is all the fun of boarding-school life as well. a b c Bradbury, Lorna (17 September 2010). "Enid Blyton's Famous Five". The Telegraph .
