Series Details

Meanwhile, @littleoutlawswanted to wanted to big up a 'forgotten classic', saying: 'Written and set at a similar time to The Famous Five, Alan Campbell McLean's The Hill of Red Fox- captures the time and place like no other.' There's a mystery at the nearby stables — someone has stolen money and then poor Julie's horse. Can the third form help old girls Bill and Clarissa discover who is behind it? Olive Witherspoon appears as a reserved girl, who is spiteful, bad-tempered and sneaky because of a family problem. The German version, published in the 1960s and 1970s underwent substantial changes to catch up with time (e.g. turntables instead of gramophones), to better resemble German grammar schools (playing handball instead of lacrosse). Furthermore, there were changes to character names - for instance, Darrell was re-named Dolly. From 1977 to 1997, twelve sequel books were published, telling Dolly's further life which always stays close to the school: after studying at a partner university, she works as a house mistress, marries one of the teachers, and has a child of her own. The story ends in the 18th book with old Miss Grayling's dignified retirement - and Dolly as her successor.
