Schoolgirl Jen at the Abbey

by Elsie J. Oxenham

Readers of Elsie J. Oxenham’s Abbey School series will enjoy hearing about their favourite Abbey Girl, Jen, as a schoolgirl once more. In recent ‘Abbey’ books, ‘Jenny-Wren’ has appeared as a completely grown-up character with babies of her own! But now Miss Oxenham gives us a glimpse into the past and shows us Jen as a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl, spending an exciting holiday at the ‘Hall’, with Joan and Jandy Mac; helping in the discoveries which they make in the Abbey ruins and assisting, too, in their plans for those two helpless ‘babes in the wood’ - old Uncle Bonny and little Vinny Miles - so eager to get to America, but so afraid to make the voyage!
This is another truly charming Abbey School story which all ‘Elsie Oxenham’ fans will welcome enthusiastically.
