Autor

British novelist Angela Brazil (1868-1947) is well known for her widely read series of tales about girls' schools. Brazil was born in Preston, Lancashire, England, and went to a local high school while growing up in a middle-class household. She first worked as a teacher after completing her studies, then she worked as a governess. Brazil's first book, "The School in the South," which was set at a fictitious girls' school, was released in 1904. She continued to write more than 50 books, the most of which took place at boarding institutions for girls. In the early 20th century, generations of young girls read her stories because they were so well-liked. Brazil's tales were often criticized for being repetitive and devoid of literary worth, but they were also commended for their capacity to capture the essence of girlhood and for their positive portrayals of strong, independent young women. Brazil wrote up until the 1940s, and her writings are still well-liked among readers who savor tales about school life in the past.
