Pairing red wine with a vintage school story seems somehow improper. 🤔

Oh, well. 😆

Ruthiella Maybe you should pretend you are sneaking the 🍷 wine...that might be more in keeping. 😀 4y

LeahBergen @Ruthiella Haha! Yes! I‘ll just pretend it‘s part of a boarding school “midnight feast”. 😉 4y

LeahBergen @Leftcoastzen It‘s cool, isn‘t it? The book was originally published in 1948 and this is the 1975 reprint. 4y
Leftcoastzen His face is more boring school rather than boarding school!😁 4y
FantasyChick Red wine pairs with anything vintage! 4y
LeahBergen @Leftcoastzen 😆 Yes, but it‘s a “her”; a tomboy student nicknamed “Tim”. 😆 4y
LeahBergen @FantasyChick Very true! I‘m going to go with that. 😄 4y

Probably the most complex characterisations of any children‘s school story that I‘ve read. There is no black-and-white class mean girl - everyone is shades of grey. In fact even the main characters get involved in what feels like bullying and are called out on it and try to do differently. I loved it.

AlaMich I love the cover! 6y

Still reading school stories after the weekend conference about 20th century schoolgirls and their reading material. So good. This book was one of many I picked up over the weekend. Updated #shelfies after all my purchasing coming later in the week!

LeahBergen I was just going to start this the other day and then I picked up something else. Soon! 6y
