Kort biografi
Mabel Esther Allan (1915-1998) was a British children's author, who published under her own name, as well as the various pseudonyms. Allan was born in Wallasey, Cheshire, and was educated at private schools. She served in the Land Army during WWII, and worked as a teacher, both at a nursery and a preparatory school. Allan held progressive views about education, views that often found their way into her books, particularly her school stories. She was interested in folk dance and ballet, and was a frequent traveler. She died in 1998.

Recensioner

My favorite books by Jean Estoril are her 'Drina" books but her other books are quite good too. I like her sweet and somewhat dated style, they are basically the perfect English school girl stories. I never did ballet but I have always been obsessed with it and I enjoy the window into that life that reading a Jean Estoril book gives me.

I had not read the Drina books since I was a child and I recently re-read them all. I read the first 5 as a child and then as a teen I hunted down the final 6 once I realized they existed. I am happy to say that for the most part they hold up to the test of time. They are very much in the style of British school stories but I quite like those. I think the whole series is definitely worth the effort it takes to hunt them down.
