The cartoons all centre on a boarding school for girls, where the teachers are sadists and the girls are juvenile delinquents.

Since the first humorous "St. Trinian's School" cartoon appeared in 1941 through the conclusion of the comic strip series in 1952, Ronald Searle unleashed the girls of boarding school on the highly entertained public. The place was actually inspired by a real school (St, Trinnean's in Edinburgh) though the sadistic teachers and juvenile deliquent students were products of Searle's offbeat imagination, more the offspring of Hitchcock-like horror tales than of real ladies' boarding school life. In this volume, the whole ghastly story is brilliantly reconstructed by Siriol Hugh-Jones, with songs, music, additional prep, dirge and epitaph from the hands of a scintillating band of contributors.
