Tophole!

• A Romance for Older Girls

  Let's spend a year or so in Guernsey, catching up with friends. Or, if you've never read any of the La Rochelle books, let's get hugely confused by dozens of characters. Either way, settle down for an authentic portrait of the first year of married life.Transcript available at https://topholepodcast.wordpress.com/2025/03/18/s2e14-a-romance-for-older-girls/You can find Tophole on Facebook or contact us at [email protected].

  It's a Wendy week (woo-hoo!) and we're discussing Armada books, and particularly their covers. You can see most of these on the boards at https://uk.pinterest.com/deborahlofas/chalet-school/. Obviously this took us hours so part 2 of our conversation will come next time.Transcript available at https://topholepodcast.wordpress.com/2025/02/18/s2e12-paperback-writer-1/You can find Tophole on Facebook or email us at [email protected].

• This one started with Antonia Forest

  Delayed for technical reasons (for which apologies) - in this episode I consider Prunella Davidson's arrival at the School, and refrain from wondering what exactly 'It' is. I also don't talk much about the arrival of Bruno because we covered that last time.Transcript available at https://topholepodcast.wordpress.com/2025/02/04/s2-e11-this-one-started-with-antonia-forest/You can find Tophole on Facebook or email us at at [email protected] - I do get round to reading the emails eventually...

• Woof, I quite agree, barked Rufus

  The long-promised episode where Wendy and I discuss dogs in EBD's books, and what we learn about training and caring for them. We talk about Rufus and Bruno in the Chalet School books, as well as They Both Liked Dogs, The Lost Staircase, and Kennelmaid Nan - and there are, of course, spoilers, but it is absolutely still worth reading Kennelmaid Nan for yourself if you get the chance.Where I refer to 23 November 'this year', actually I mean 2024!You can find Tophole on Facebook or email us at [email protected].
