Mabel Esther Allan

    11 februari 1915 – 14 mei 1998

    Mabel Esther Allan was een productieve Britse auteur wiens werken zich vaak toelegden op thema's als schoolleven en ballet. Haar schrijven, beïnvloed door progressieve onderwijskundige opvattingen, doordrenkte haar verhalen met haar interesse in volksdans en ballet. Allan's carrière begon in het interbellum en ging door na de Tweede Wereldoorlog, waarbij haar verhalen populair werden vanwege hun boeiende portretten van kindertijd en adolescentie. Haar verhalen bieden lezers inzicht in werelden waarin onderwijs en artistieke expressie een cruciale rol spelen in de ontwikkeling van jonge personages.

    New Schools for Old
    • Pandora and her friends are dismayed and resentful when a new headmistress brings changes to Bryngarth School in North Wales, but Pandora's younger sister Felicity welcomes the new free regime. Also the new head has three daughters, all of whom are missing their old co-educational school, Clondale - especially the middle one, who is most unhappy due to the unfriendliness of Pandora and her friends. However, against the backdrop of this uneasy term, there are excitements, including the International Eisteddfodd, which brings people from many countries to the Welsh Valley, and also on the camp at the end of term - which nearly ends in disaster.
