Along with her sister Amy, Angela then studied at Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. She was quite late in taking up writing, developing a strong interest in Welsh mythology, and at first wrote a few magazine articles on mythology and nature. It was possibly thanks to her sister Amy that she finally began work on a novel at the age of 35. Exceptionally with respect to many of her contemporaries writing in this vein, Brazil did not write any books in a series - each stood on its own with different characters every time. These were considered to deal accurately and sympathetically with the highs and lows in the lives of middle-class schoolgirls, including the tangle of emotional friendships. Her works include: The New Girl at St. Chad's (1911), For the Sake of the School (1915), The Luckiest Girl in the School (1916) and The Jolliest School of All (1922).

Wherever have you taken yourself off to?" shouted a boyishvoice, as its owner, jumping an obstructing gooseberry bush, tore around the corner of the housefrom the kitchen garden on to the strip of rough lawn that faced the windows. "Hullo! Cuckoo!Coo-ee! In-gred!""I'm here all the time, so you needn't bawl!" came in resigned tones from under the shade of a largefuchsia. "You're enough to wake the dead, Chumps! What is it you want now! It's too hot to go awalk till after tea. I'm trying to get ten minutes peace and quiet!"Hereward, otherwise "Chumps," put his feet together in the second position, flung out his arms inwhat was intended to be a graceful attitude, and made a mock bow worthy of the cinema stage."Have them by all means, Madam!" he replied in mincing accents. "Your humble servant has nowish to disturb your ladyship's elegant repose. He offers a thousand apologies for hisunceremonious entrance into your august presence, and implores you to condescend--Ow!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Pair of Schoolgirls" is a 1912 fictional story by English author Angela Brazil. It follows the story of Dorothy and the trails she faces being a young girl at an all-girls day school in England. Another entertaining and beautifully-illustrated school girls' tale by one of the creators of the genre, this book is highly recommended for young girls and lovers of the schoolgirl fiction genre, and it is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed others works by this author. Angela Brazil (1868 - 1947) was an English author most famous for being one of the first writers of "modern schoolgirls' stories." Her stories were presented from the characters' point of view and were written primarily as entertainment rather than moral instruction. During the first half of the 20th century, Brazil published nearly 50 such books, with the vast majority being set in English boarding schools. Brazil's work had a significant influence on changing the nature of fiction for girls. Her charters were chiefly young females, active, independent, and aware. Brazil's books were often considered to be immoral and deviant, leading to their being burned or banned by many Headteachers in girls schools across Britain. Other notable works by this author include: "The School in the Forest" (1944), "Three Terms at Uplands" (1945), "The School on the Loch" (1946). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
