Book description
At Bagley Hall, a notoriously wild, but increasingly academic,
independent, crammed with the children of the famous, trouble is
afoot. The ambitious and fatally attractive headmaster, Hengist
Brett-Taylor, hatches a plan to share the facilities of his school
with Larkminster Comprehensive - known locally, as 'Larks'. His
reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the
opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna
Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save
what is a fast-sinking school from closure. Janna is young, pretty,
enthusiastic and vastly brave - and she will do anything to rescue her
demoralised, run-down and cash-strapped school.
Neither parents nor staff of either school are too keen on this
radical move, although some can see the possible financial advantages.
For the students, however, it offers great opportunities to get up to
even more mayhem than usual.
Jilly Cooper is a journalist, writer and media superstar. The
author of many number one bestselling novels, including Riders,
Rivals, Polo, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous,
Appassionata, Score! and Pandora, she lives in
Gloucestershire with her husband, Leo, and five cats.

her contribution to literature.
