Description: It's odd to say so, but re-reading Elinor M. Brent-Dyer's most enduring series really makes very clear that EUSTACIA GOES TO THE CHALET SCHOOL is where a great deal of it really falls into place. The first five books were all about the school finding its feet and identity - from being founded, to growing, developing, and brushing up against a rival school. With EUSTACIA, the school has settled into itself, and the template for many of the remaining books in the series - a girl arrives at the Chalet School who does not fit into the proper schoolgirl mould and must pick up the right values to make her a real Chalet girl - is set. The girl in question is, of course, Eustacia Benson - an unfortunate protagonist who's introduced as an arrant little prig, whose cloistered upbringing by her elderly parents has turned her into a snappy, unsociable martinet. She turns up at the Chalet School quite incapable of understanding the difference between reporting and sneaking on her school-mates, and soon manages to antagonise everyone around her: from form-mates to prefects and even the staff. Few characters are as alienating as poor Eustacia, and many confrontations with characters and tropes we know and love (including Brent-Dyer's deep adoration of mountain-top peril) must take place before she can really become the person she's meant to be. It's a formula that will grow more tedious as the series goes on, but here, it still feels remarkably fresh especially with Brent-Dyer operating at the height of her powers. The writing is, as always, full of rich character detail and local flavour, sprinkled with some choice sarcasm that feels as biting now as it must have done when she wrote the book over eighty years ago. Brent-Dyer's characterisation of Eustacia herself is also quite masterful, creating a very difficult, genuinely unlikable child, while providing some real insight into why she's as difficult as she is. The rivalry that springs up between Eustacia and Joey Bettany, our window into the School and all its doings, feels real too: at this point, the latter remains a credible character,

whose great popular appeal does not disguise or excuse the fact that she can be headstrong, hot-tempered and tactless at times. There's also some fun to be had for the long-time Chalet reader to see major characters coming to the fore: Miss Annersley, who has hitherto played a colourless and very tiny role as a supporting player within the School, is suddenly gifted a personality and many conversations with girls and staff alike. It presages her eventual promotion to Headmistress, even as Mademoiselle herself gains more of a spine than she's demonstrated in the preceding tales. Schoolgirls who develop quite distinctive personalities of their own in future books are suddenly to be found as an extant part of the school population in EUSTACIA, like Elsie Carr, Anne Seymour and Louise Redfield. Leave us not forget Miss Wilson and her continuing misfortune in bringing girls on mountain-climbing expeditions, whether or not they're fleeing from the Nazis.
