The Princess of the Chalet School by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer

Inspired by a vacation to the Austrian Alps, Elinor M. Brent-Dyer wrote The School at the Chalet, the first book in the seires, little realizing it would launch a series that would span more than 60 books and delight millions of readers around the world.

The series follows the adventures of a boarding school set in the picturesque Swiss Alps. The series begins with The School at the Chalet (1925), where readers are introduced to Miss Madge Bettany, a young woman who decides to start a school for girls in the Swiss mountains. The series then chronicles the growth and evolution of the school, as well as the trials and triumphs of its students.

The Princess of the Chalet School is the third book in the series.
