REVIEW: Dimsie Goes To School
Mar. 8th, 2009 08:05 amDimsie Goes to School: Dorita Fairlie Bruce. Oxford Univerity Press. Reprinted, 1949.
This is the first of three Dimsie books that I have to read...
And so, we begin at the beginning. I read my first Dimsie book after reading a couple of Springdale books, and my impression of the Jane Willard Foundation school was that it was always raining in comprison, and that they were always doing drills (which sounded beastly) and what kind of a name is the 'Jane Willard Foundation', wondered I. Ouf, typing it out, that opinion comes on a bit stronger than I expected. But rereading and reading more Dimsie books toned it down, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to get a fuller picture of Dimsie and 'Jane's.'. Another thing is that I was used to Dimsie as a Senior, so having her be in the Hilary Garth role is strange.
