01: The Twins at St Clare's
01: The Twins at St Clare's | Enid Blyton
11 posts | 15 read | 5 to read
Schooldays at St Clare's are never dull for twins Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan in Enid Blyton's much-loved boarding school series. In book one, the twins are simply not having it. St Clare's is beneath them and they're determined to cause a stir. But life at St Clare's is not as easy as they thought. They have several surprises and arguments before they admit their troubles are of their own making, and settle down to make friends. Expect mischief at St Clare's! Enid Blyton has been delighting readers for more than seventy years. Her best-loved characters include Noddy the wooden boy, Timmy the dog from The Famous Five and heroine Darrell Rivers from Malory Towers. Between 1941 and 1946, Enid Blyton wrote six novels set at St Clare's. This edition features the original text and is unillustrated.

#YouAndMeButMostlyMe makes me think of twins, for some reason.

The O‘Sullivan twins look a bit like “The Shining girls in the hallway” here. 😆😆

1. So many! But I did especially love The Twins at St. Clare‘s books by Enid Blyton 💗
2. I loved Barbies and Polly Pockets when I was little.
3. Spaghetti hoops on toast !
4. Both - but if I had to choose - cookies 🍪

All the wonderful memories came back to me 💗 I absolutely loved this series as a kid. I now remember that I wanted to be called Winifred. I also wanted to go to boarding school. Never even heard of lacrosse before I read the book (sorry Canada), but I became quite obsessed with the idea of playing it. One thing I realize now is that Enid Blyton probably has the world record in using exclamation marks! Jolly good! ❤️💜💛

BarbaraBB I remember all those “mam‘selle”s (?) and that they always had to clean the rooms of the seniors 😀. Good memories! 6y

I loooooved this series as a kid. Must have read them 50 times. I totally forgot about the twins until last year. Today I found the books online and bought them. Is it smart to read them or should I just keep the perfect memory alive?
#smartorstupid Smart or stupid?

LeahBergen I say read them! ❤️❤️ 6y
JenlovesJT47 Read them! I'm working my way through my favorite book series as a kid, I love every cheesy minute of it! 😆 6y

#thetwinsatstclares was one of my favorite book series growing up and I probably read them like a million times. The german version was called "Hanni & Nanni" though and I "inherited" those books from my mom who'd read them when she was a teenager. So when I was about 12 years old and wanted to learn English, she also got me the English versions of the books, meaning these were some of the very first English books I read in my life ??

A wonderful children's story full of twists and turns, adjustment, friendship and mischief. This book is entertaining and a lot of fun to read, for adults and children alike.
