In case people haven't seen it, the details about Peace Comes to the Chalet School are now up on the GGB Website.
For the past seven years, since their exile from their Tirol home, the girls of the Chalet School have striven with might and main to support the war effort, never losing faith that some day peace will come, and reunite them with their lost friends in the occupied countries. Now, with the end of the war fast approaching, the Chalet School prepares to take a full part in the victory festivities, inviting Old Girls and new friends to join them in celebrating the defeat of Naziism.
In the midst of all the excitement, school must go on—there are lessons to learn, Guide badges to be earned, form gardens to tend, and, Middles being Middles, a goodly number of pranks and escapades! Coincidentally, the Sale falls in the summer term this year, and the School determines to raise a record amount for the Sanatorium. Can they outdo their previous efforts, and truly make this a term to remember?
As with the previous Chalet fill-in titles published by Girls Gone By, Peace Comes to the Chalet School is a title which Elinor could have written, even though she didn't.
The book has a full colour cover, and a full colour frontispiece, both of which have been created especially for the title by Peter Jolly.
Our other fill-in titles sold out very quickly, and are now commanding high prices on the second-hand market.

You might remember that, in April, I did Peace in 20 sentences. Here is the updated version:
Miss Annersley laughed.
Gwensi smiled.
Daisy turned to the girl on her right.
The four girls nodded miserably.
Miss Wilson smiled.
Thank you, girls.
Miss Annersley laughed.
‘Working?
Thank you, girls.
Thank you, girls.’
Miss Annersley laughed.
Margia’s eyes danced.
‘Daisy is Head Girl this year.’
Margia laughed.
‘You’re working excellently, girls.
Good night, girls.’
Miss Wilson laughed.
Margia laughed.
Margia smiled.
Thank you, girls.
*lol* Clearly still a lot of laughing!
So, now you know all about it, you're going to go and order a copy - aren't you! ;-)

(I do need to buy Problem and Caroline the Second, though...) But at least I will hopefully, eventually, have Lost Staircase, High Valley, and Headmistress.

That's a seriously bad notice for the Victoria people. I hope not too many people are out.

I'm still so pleased that you've got Margia in there. I don't think I'll stop being absolutely ecstatic, ever, she being one of my absolute favourite characters.
