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.
Mabel Esther Allan Knihy
Mabel Esther Allan bola plodnou britskou autorkou, ktorá sa vo svojej tvorbe často zameriavala na témy školského života a baletu. Jej písanie, ovplyvnené progresívnymi vzdelávacími názormi, prenikalo do jej príbehov a skúmalo témy, ktoré odrážajú jej záujem o ľudový tanec a balet. Allanovej kariéra sa začala v medzivojnovom období a pokračovala po druhej svetovej vojne, pričom jej diela si získali obľubu pre svoje pôvabné zobrazenie detstva a dospievania. Jej príbehy ponúkajú pohľad do sveta, kde vzdelanie a umelecké vyjadrenie zohrávajú kľúčovú úlohu v rozvoji mladých postáv.
