School stories have become one of the biggest areas of interest within the field of collecting children's books in both Australia and the U.K.. The books are purchased primarily for reading, and editions and condition are often of secondary importance to collectors. Even so, high prices are asked for difficult to locate titles and earlier decorative editions of the more common titles. Editions are often hard to identify as many are not dated. However the editors of Folly (if you collect girls books this magazine will interest you) have produced guides to first editions of the most collected authors..
This page was constructed from information provided by Sue Sims: for further details of authors and books, look out for the Encyclopaedia of Girls' School Stories. It is edited by Rosemary Auchmuty (author of 'A World of Girls'), Hilary Clare, Robert Kirkpatrick (for the boys' material) and Sue Sims, with contributions from experts on individual authors - Monica Godfrey for EJO, Helen McClelland for EBD, Sheila Ray for Enid Blyton.
There is also a companion volume

Christine Chaundler
1887 - 1972
Born Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, England.
Christine Chaundler was one of ten children, 4 of whom died in childhood. Christine attended Queen Anne's School, Caversham until she was 16, and then St Winifed's School in Wales. She wrote from childhood, and spent all her working life in writing and publishing. From about 1912 she made a steady and growing income from her writing which included short stories, books and articles.
Christine was employed by the publishing firm of Cassell's for most of World War 1, where she worked on the editorial team of the periodical - Little Folks, which serialised several of her earlier girls' school stories. Then from 1919 - 1922 she worked for James Nisbet, as Juvenile Book Editor. By this time she was making enough money from her writingto give up other work. Throughout the 20s and 30s she made an excellent living from her children's books and stories. She had a house built in Fittleworth on the Sussex Downs, where she lived until her death.
The demand for the type of stories Christine wrote declined after World War II, but book reviews, broadcast fees and reading for publishers still brought in a healthy income.
Boy's stories written under the name 'Peter Martin' are not included in this list.

Josephine Elder
1895 - 1988
Born Croydon (now greater London), England
Josephine Elder was the pseudonym of Olive Gwendoline Potter (who practiced as a Doctor in Sutton, Surrey). She was the elder of two children and attended Croydon High School. She was encouraged to take up medicine although she was equally as interested in journalism. She made a very good doctor, but never lost the desire to write.
She studied at Cambridge University, then set up as a GP in 1923. Women doctors were still not popular, and Olive started writing as Josephine Elder. She began with short stories then full-length books. The writing had to take second place and as the practice developed it ceased altogether during World War II, when she ran three practices. After the war she turned to writing adult novels, and wrote no more school stories. She retired in 1983, when she moved to Somerset and she died on 24 July 1988, having lived a very full life.

She suffered from a mild form of epilepsy that did not particularly inhibit her life-style.Like her elder sister Enid, Joan was sent to Wycombe Abbey, the school on which she was to base many of her school stories. Joan was not academically brilliant but enjoyed her schooldays. Leaving in 1916, she was immediately absorbed into war work and eventually became a nurse at an Eastbourne hospital. After the war she decided on the social round of bridge, tennis, golf and books, but she continued her work with the blind and with Guides.
