Book Reviews of St. Trinian's: The Entire Appalling Business

Book Review: I just saw the movie and wanted to see the inspiration for it.
Summary: 3 Stars

It's a pretty fun book, but I took about 15 minutes looking at the whole thing. I think they should make a new addition with more commentary.

It's probably appropriate for girls 14 and up. Although there is a lot of booze, cigarettes, and sex. It's very tongue and cheek, and sort of a fun way to get introduced to the sleaze side of the world. Which yes, every girl in this generation will see eventually.

Summary of St. Trinian's: The Entire Appalling Business

St. Trinian's, the gloriously anarchic boarding school for young ladies, became synonymous with outrageous behavior when Ronald Searle's drawings first appeared in Britain's Lilliput magazine in the 1940s. Searle said about his creations: "A St. Trinian's girl would be sadistic, cunning, dissolute, crooked, sordid, lacking morals of any sort and capable of any excess. She would also be well-spoken, even well-mannered and polite. Sardonic, witty and very amusing. She would be good company. In short: typically human and, despite everything, endearing."

St. Trinian's girls are experts in the maidenly arts of torture, witchcraft, and mayhem of all description; their antics take the reader back to those authoritarian school days that begged for serious rebellion and all-embracing non-conformity. Poisonous mushrooms, medieval racks, and field hockey sticks as weapons of choice figure prominently. Gin-swigging and cigar-smoking are popular pastimes.

Now, black humor and black stockings intact, the St. Trinian's girls reach American shores in this gleefully wicked collection of cartoons, published to coincide with the major film, St. Trinian's, starring Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton, and Colin Firth.
