Summary

In "The Jolliest School of All," Angela Brazil crafts a delightful narrative centered around the vivacious lives of schoolgirls at an idyllic boarding school. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, Brazil's prose is imbued with a charming blend of humor and nostalgia, capturing the innocence and exuberance of youth. The novel intertwines themes of friendship, rivalry, and the transformative power of education, offering a rich exploration of girlhood while reflecting the societal values of its time. With lively dialogue and meticulously drawn characters, Brazil ensconces her readers in a vibrant world where camaraderie reigns supreme. Angela Brazil, a pioneering figure in the genre of schoolgirl fiction, drew from her own experiences as a student and teacher to create compelling narratives that resonate with her readership. Her work emerged during a period when literature aimed to empower young women, promoting ideals of independence and self-discovery. Brazil's understanding of the intricacies of female social dynamics and her penchant for storytelling captured the essence of her contemporaneous era, providing a blueprint for future authors in the genre. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Jolliest School of All" to readers seeking an enchanting foray into the world of schoolgirl tales. Brazil's ability to evoke joy and nostalgia makes this novel a timeless classic that will resonate with both young readers and adults who appreciate well-crafted narratives of friendship and adventure.

    What real parents are saying … 
“My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.” - Heather Schalk, Toddler Toolkit Podcast, Mother of 2 toddlers 
“Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).” 
“The stories are soothing, my toddlers love the illustrations, and this is now our must-have bedtime ritual. I can’t recommend this enough—it’s a total lifesaver for tired parents.”
