Why read it?

1 author picked Hurrah for St. Trinian's as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Many people will be familiar with the two series of comedy films, one made in the 1960s and the other in the 2000s, and I highly recommend going back to the series of books that inspired the spirit of the films. Cartoonist Ronald Searle dreamed up this anarchic school and drew hilarious cartoons satirising head teachers, staff, and pupils. Another product of the mid-twentieth century, his wicked observational humour is still fresh and funny. Once you’ve enjoyed his iconic St Trinian’s cartoons, you’ll never see a girls’ boarding school in the same way again!
