The Chalet School Series was written by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer and was originally published by Chambers in hardcover with dust jacket from 1925 through 1970. Many of the titles in the series have also been reprinted in softcover, but most of the softcover books are heavily edited. Thus, it is necessary to purchase the original hardcover books in order to guarantee that one acquires the original story. The Chalet School Series is very popular with collectors in the United Kingdom, and many of the books are very hard to find and are very, very expensive. The series is practically unknown in the United States, as it has never been published here. It is unfortunate that this series is unknown and unavailable in the United States, as I believe that it is worth collecting. The cost of the books is very prohibitive for U.S. collectors due to the weakness of the U.S. dollar against the British pound.
For those who wish to learn more about the Chalet School Series, there are a number of internet sites that provide excellent information. Both the New Chalet Club and the Friends of the Chalet School contain a wealth of information about the publishing history of the series. The New Chalet Club has a nice biography of Elinor Brent-Dyer. The
