I have just finished revisiting Daddy-Long-Legs and Little Princess, and I have found myself longing to find other books within the same environnement.
What I am looking for:
- Preferably a story that takes place in an all-girls boarding school
- Written by a woman
- Set before the twenty-first century
- Good writing
- Ideally little to no romance

Mallory Towers series by Enid Blyton, or O Sullivan twins series by her. Zero romance, I grew up reading these.
Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan is great!
The three classic series are Mallory Towers and St Claire’s by Enid Blyton, and the Chalet School series by Elinor Brent-Dyer. I think all of them have had sequels written by modern authors, too
Good Bye Mr Chips by James Hamilton. Set in
A boarding school in England.
