 The five 'Maudsley' books, on the other hand, are set in a day school in a town in southern England, probably based on Farnham in Surrey, where Nancy spends a few years between her two sojourns at St. Bride's.The Maudsley books are probably the most significant manifestations of the Girls' Guildry in girls' fiction.The last Nancy book, "Nancy Calls the Tune" (1944) is another 'adult' sequel, about life in a small town in Scotland, probably Crieff in Perth, during the War.
