What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

So I may be crazy but I think the movie "The Children's Hour" is based on a book. I know it was a play first but I think there is a book. So the basic plot is "two women run a boarding school are accused of being lesbians by a student, destroying the lady's reputation. The girl was lying." I am sure that I saw this book at a second hand book store and didn't take down the name I am sure its older than the movie but hay I may be wrong.

I thought it was just a play. First published in 1934 - The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman

You probably write Juels, but I could have sworn it was a novel

Good luck. I hope you find out either way.

Bad Companions by William Roughead is a true crime anthology that contains the incident upon which the play is based.
