No king, no dictator set high upon a pinnacle, was as friendless as the headmistress of a girls' school.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlotte Fairlie loves her position at the illustrious St. Elizabeth's, but it's not without its challenges-first among them her trouble-making maths mistress Miss Pinkerton, who yearns for Charlotte's job and spares no effort to complicate her life. Then there's the charming Lawrence Swayne, headmaster of a nearby boys' school, who has plans of his own for Charlotte's future. But it's the arrival of Tessa MacRynne, desperately homesick for the Scottish isle of Targ and distraught about her parents' impending divorce, who really stirs things up-giving Miss Pinkerton fresh ammunition, helping the unfortunate Eastwoods, who cower beneath their father's snide, critical personality, and inspiring Charlotte to spend an unforgettable holiday on Targ. Adventures, pleasures, misunderstandings, and tragedies follow, told with D.E. Stevenson's inimitable sensitivity and humour, and Charlotte's loneliness is soon forgotten . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1954 and long out of print, \u003cem\u003eCharlotte Fairlie\u003c\/em\u003e is the irresistible, sometimes poignant tale of a talented professional woman gaining a new lease on life.
