Two Chalet School Girls in India by Priyadarshini Narendra

This paperback book was published by Bettany Press in 2006.  It is in mint condition.  It comes with a foreword by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer’s biographer, Helen McClelland, explaining the history of the original book.

When Joey is at a loss to know how to deal with an unwanted suitor, an invitation arrives from Dick and Mollie to spend the winter in India.  The Robin is also in need of a break, after losing her father earlier in the year.  The visit will change their lives forever, and the friendships they make will have long-lasting repercussions.

This is the book that Chalet School fans across the world have been waiting for.  Elinor M. Brent-Dyer’s story of what happened when Joey Bettany and the Robin visited India was never published, and no trace of it remains.  Readers seemed destined never to know the answers to questions ranging from how did Joey meet Erica Standish’s mother, to why Joey tore out the pictures from Mollie’s copy of Queechy?

Now Priyadarshini Narendra has written her own version of the story, remaining as true to the Chalet School series as possible.  Priyadarshini lives in New Delhi, and has been a Chalet School collector since the age of six.
