The St. Clare’s books are a beloved British boarding school series that began in 1941 with Enid Blyton’s The Twins at St Clare’s. The series follows twins Pat and Isabel O’Sullivan as they arrive at St Clare’s school, initially reluctant and hoping to leave, but gradually growing to love the place and its traditions.

Each book covers a school term, introducing new students and storylines while Pat and Isabel move up through the forms.
