 The six 'Springdale' books are Dorita's most Scottish school stories, set in the little seaside resort 'Redchurch', without a doubt modelled on Largs.But Springdale is a far larger school than 'Jane's', a more typical English public school with five, later six, different houses and a more complex prefect system.These books follow the little group of friends around Anne Willoughby and Primula Mary Beton through their schooldays, from new juniors to prefects.
