The St Clare's Collection by Enid Blyton is a series of novels that follow the adventures of two sisters, Pat and Isabel O'Sullivan, as they attend St Clare's boarding school. The series, which was first published in 1941, has become a beloved classic of children's literature, offering readers a delightful and nostalgic look at school life in post-war England.

The series begins with Pat and Isabel being sent to St Clare's after their father is stationed overseas with the army. The girls are initially wary of their new school and its strict headmistress, Miss Theobald, but they soon settle in and make friends with their fellow students.

Throughout the series, the girls navigate the challenges of school life, including exams, sports competitions, and school plays. They also face personal struggles, such as homesickness, jealousy, and the ups and downs of friendship.

Title in This Set:

  1. The Twins at St Clare's
  2. The O'Sullivan Twins at St Clare's
  3. Summer Term at St Clare's
  4. The Second Form at St Clare's
  5. The Third Form at St Clare's
  6. Kitty at St Clare's
  7. Claudine at St Clare's
  8. Fifth Formers of St Clare's
  9. The Sixth Form at St Clare's

One of the most appealing aspects of the St Clare's Collection is its charming and relatable characters. Pat and Isabel are both strong-willed and independent, but they also have their faults and weaknesses. They are realistic and well-rounded, and readers can't help but root for them as they face various challenges throughout the series.

The supporting characters are equally well-drawn, with each girl in the school having her own unique personality and backstory. There's Carlotta, the fiery-tempered Italian girl; Janet, the studious and sensible head girl; and the mischievous twins, Ruby and Connie. These characters bring the school to life and create a rich and vibrant world for readers to explore.

The St Clare's Collection is also notable for its strong themes of friendship and loyalty. Pat and Isabel's relationship is the heart of the series, and their bond is tested and strengthened through various trials and tribulations. The girls also learn the importance of forgiveness, compassion, and standing up for what is right.

Another appealing aspect of the St Clare's Collection is its depiction of school life. The series offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily routine and traditions of a British boarding school in the mid-twentieth century. From midnight feasts and secret societies to cricket matches and pantomimes, the books are full of vivid and engaging details that will delight readers of all ages.

Enid Blyton's writing style is another highlight of the series. Her prose is clear and simple, with just the right amount of description and dialogue to keep readers engaged. Her stories are both heartwarming and exciting, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing.

Overall, the St Clare's Collection is a delightful and charming series that has stood the test of time. Its lovable characters, relatable themes, and engaging storytelling make it a must-read for children and adults alike. Whether you're looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane or a fun and engaging read for your children, the St Clare's Collection is sure to delight and entertain.

About the author: 

Enid Blyton (1897-1968) was a prolific and beloved British author of children's books. She is best known for her series, including The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, and The Magic Faraway Tree, which have sold millions of copies worldwide and have become timeless classics of children's literature.

Blyton's books were known for their adventurous plots, relatable characters, and engaging storytelling. Her stories often centred on the themes of friendship, mystery, and exploration and were written in a clear and straightforward style that was easy for children to understand.

Despite her popularity, Blyton's work was not without controversy. In the 1960s, her books were criticized for their lack of diversity and stereotyping of certain groups. However, many of her fans continue to appreciate her work for its imaginative and entertaining qualities.

Today, Enid Blyton remains one of the most beloved and influential authors in the world of children's literature. Her books continue to inspire and delight readers of all ages, and her legacy lives on through the many adaptations and spin-offs that have been created over the years.
