Description

This is a third impression copy published by Max Parrish & Co. in 1952. 

The Terror of St. Trinian's is a satirical masterpiece written by Timothy Shy and Ronald Searle. Published in 1952, this book brings to life the outlandish world of St. Trinian's, a fictional girls' boarding school like no other.

Within the pages of this uproarious book, readers are introduced to a cast of unforgettable characters, including the formidable headmistress, Miss Millicent Fritton, and her band of rebellious and unruly students. These girls are anything but ordinary. They engage in outrageous pranks, defy authority, and concoct ingenious schemes that often lead to hilariously chaotic situations.

The authors' sharp humour shines throughout the book as they skewer the conventions and expectations of traditional boarding schools. The girls of St. Trinian's are masters of subversion, turning even the most mundane aspects of school life into uproarious escapades.

"The Terror of St. Trinian's" is a riotous and irreverent satire that continues to captivate readers with its absurdity and wit. It's a literary classic that invites you to step into the madcap world of St. Trinian's and revel in the sheer lunacy of it all. This book is a testament to Searle's comedic genius and remains a beloved work of British humour.
