About the author

Born in 1905 in Harlow, Middlesex, Mary Kathleen Harris was the daughter of Roland Edward Harris, and his wife Mary Mackey. She was educated at Harrow County School for Girls, from 1915-22, but did not pursue a higher education, caring for her ailing mother instead. Following her mother's example, Harris converted to Catholicism sometime shortly before the onset of WWII. They settled in Watford after the war, and Harris lived there until her death from throat cancer, in 1966.

Beginning in 1941, with the publication of Gretel at St. Bride's, Harris began to publish her children's books - approximately sixteen in number - some of them school stories, some girls' adventure stories, and some religious in nature.

یادمه یه شب که داشتم می خوندم
و نصف دوم کتاب بودم
و صندلیمو کج کرده بودم و از پشت تکیه داده بودمش به کمد سرتاسری اتاقم
زلزله اومد
و کمدهای بالایی که درشون نیمه باز بود تلق تلق صداشون در اومد
و من مث همیشه که زلزله ای میاد رنگم پرید و رفتم تو هال
بابا اینا آروم و عادی نشسته بودن
و بابا تا منو دید گفت "رنگت چرا پریده؟ انقدر جونتو دوست داری؟" .. البته هیج ربطی نداره اینایی که گفتم به کتابش. ولی اتوبوس مدرسه منو یاد اون شب می ندازه

کتاب داستان جالبی دارد. درباره دوستی بین دو دختر مدرسه ایی است که خیلی باهم تفاوت دارند. من این کتاب رو بیشتر از سرافینا دوست داشتم.

This involves a day school rather than a boarding school, and the two girls become friendly taking the bus together. It lacks the sense of fun and adventure and possibility I enjoy in boarding school stories.

I remember when I was 13 I really enjoyed it.at that time I might rate it 4 stars.

داستانی کودکانه با پایانی خوش. مناسب برای گروه نوجوانان و البته پیرمردانی مثل من !
