dja777's review against another edition
Kind of dull, definitely not one I will re-read.
kahale's review against another edition
2.0
this author wrote a whole series of English schoolgirl stories in the early 20th century. A little stilted for girls of today. I found it reminiscent of Anee of Green Gables and The Little Princess. Itt did hold my attention through the whole book.

Philippa lives happily in South America with her father but her father decides she needs a different sort of education and sends her to England to go to school. She is sent to a boarding school where she learns languages and manners and the art of conversation and music. Her experiences are mixed; she quickly befriends Cathy, but also makes an enemy in Ernestine, and she loves most of her teachers but one teacher seems to constantly berate her. It's a nice little picture of what life must have been like for affluent girls in the early 1900s.
