A World of Girls:The Story of a School, by L. T. Meade (1854 - 1914)

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/a-world-of-girls-by-l-t-meade/
If you are a fan of Girl's School tales this one will definitely not disappoint. Filled with fantastic adventures of midnight feasts, gypsy sightings and naughty pranks, this charming story centers on two very opposite characters. Hester Thornton, very proud, mourning the recent loss of her mother and the separation of her beloved little sister is determined to hate the school to which her father has sent her. Annie Forest, a very pretty, rather wild yet kind hearted girl who has been a resident of the school the last 4 years is the school favourite in spite of her many pranks and scrapes. Miscommunication and envy causes a strong mutual dislike between them, and the addition of mean-spirited actions by a 3rd party leads to many exciting and dramatic events as well as touching moments. (Summary by Celine Major)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hey Dave!!! Nice to see you again so soon. :D

All looks good to me. I've actually recorded most of the book which I downloaded from Internet Archive so I will double check that the script is the same when I edit.

Thanks for the Gutenberg link.

Back soon!!! Take care!
