Malory Towers is a boarding school for girls in Cornwall. Enid Blyton wrote six books for this series between 1946 & 1951. The heroine is Darrell Rivers who enters the school in the first form & becomes head girl when she is in the sixth. But of course its not all plain sailing for Darrell & her friends! Malory Towers has six forms from the first to the sixth & four house towers&8212; North South East & West. There are about forty girls in each form divided among the four houses. Darrell & Co are in North Tower where most of the action takes place & where the girls try not to run foul of strict housemistress Miss Potts or the equally strict Matron. St Clares is a boarding-school for girls. Like Malory Towers the books follow the girls from first form upwards although disappointingly St Clares finishes at the end of the fifth form. The series is a little odd in that it has three first form books one second form one fourth & one fifth rather than the standard one-book-per-form format. The main characters are the twins Pat & Isobel OSullivan who arrive at the school in the first book. Other main characters are the hot-tempered Janet the playful Bobby steady head-girl Hilary wild circus girl Carlotta feather-head Alison strict mistresses Miss Roberts & Miss Jenks scatty French teacher Mamzelle (surely not!) & wise kind headmistress Miss Theobald.
