Hard cover, 8 vo., in tan paper covered boards, titles in black to spine, within a price-clipped, pictorial dust jacket of red, yellow and white, 288 pp. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket: Very Good. Ownership signature in ballpoint. Minor soiling, gentle foxing to edges of text block. The author, Dorita Fairlie Bruce, took her own experiences as a student at a Scottish all-girls boarding school as fodder for the series of seven novels about Springdale School, written between 1928 and 1939. This title first appeared in 1932, and concerns the leadership of Peggy Willoughby as the head girl, or Captain, of the upper school. (She's described by some of her younger critics as "too jolly swanky for words.") Good vintage girls-own story with lashings of Scottish setting among the fictional seaside town of "Redchurch" on the northern outskirts of Glasgow. Now in mylar.
