Set during the war, there is a spy plot at the school, which Marjorie undertakes to unravel. An interesting tale providing a unique look at contemporary accounts for the First World War.Illustrated with a frontispiece, and five plates.Collated, complete.Written by Angela Brazil. Brazil was a popular writer of 'schoolgirl' novels intended for young girls. They were mostly set in boarding schools, and lacked the moral instruction that most works for young women at that time had.Illustrated by Balliol Salmon, who illustrated for 'The Graphic', as well as teaching art. He illustrated three more of Brazil's books, 'The Jolliest Term on Record', 'A Popular Schoolgirl', and 'The Madcap Of The School'. In the original publisher's decorative cloth binding. Externally, smart, with some light rubbing to the boards and spine, affecting the decorative spine and front board. Minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Spine is discoloured. Small crack to the rear joint. Neat repair to the head and tail of the rear joint. Light marks to the boards and spine. A small amount of cockling of the cloth to the rear joint. Front hinge is starting but firm. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto of the front endpaper. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with only a few scattered spots. Very Good
