Customer Reviews

A great story for girls
I really enjoyed this book from the first page. I like the way Enid Blyton introduces new characters and tells you about their personality. I think I would love to be at St Clare's and play lacrosse and go swimming. The teas sound lovely and I think it would be good to have to stay at school over the weekends with all your friends

Stories which stand the test of time
I first read the St Clare's series when I was about 9 years old. Now I'm 33 and am re-reading them for about the fourth time and they're still as enjoyable and wonderful as ever.

The Twins at St Clare's is the first book in a collection of six (excluding the two extra stories written by Pamela Cox) and introduces us to Pat and Isobel O'Sullivan, who are new to the school after undertaking their previous schooling at snobby boarding school Redroofs. When the twins arrive at St Clare's they are stuck up and determined to dislike everything about their new school but bit by bit St Clare's weaves its magic spell over them and they settle in, make new friends and actually start to enjoy themselves.

This is a school story filled with fun, tricks and midnight feasts. I can't tell you how special these stories are to me. As well as enjoying the tale they always evoke a feeling of nostalgia as I remember those old and well loved characters (Janet, Hilary, Mamzelle...) A fabulous read which has stood the test of time. Enid Blyton would have been proud to learn that readers are still enjoying her books sixty years after they were written.

A good school story
Enid Blyton's books, as usual, never fail to give me an enjoyable read. This book is no exception. It tells about the snobbish O'Sullivan twins who are sent to a boarding school they don't want to go to. They set out to make lives miserable for everyone around them, but the only lives they make miserable are their own. They soon learn their lesson and settle down, occasionally getting into trouble.
