They evoke the era better than any other genre's art, I think - the innocence of the girls themselves, often caught in some extreme or inexplicable situation from which they must disentangle themselves, honour intact. The muted colours and simple lines reflect the regimentation and claustrophobia of the boarding school, but often, minute details - someone's expression, for example, or stance - indicate a deeper threat, a darker thread. i just love them!Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226948028302431042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323931970136736618.post-11021928957118133482010-04-03T01:03:23.167-07:002010-04-03T01:03:23.167-07:00I somehow missed out on reading the Chalet School ...I somehow missed out on reading the Chalet School series while growing up but I'd love to try one now.
