For Elinor M. Brent-Dyer to create a series of 58 books required much organisation and writing in notebooks; it is from these latter that Helen McClelland found the sketched-out details for Visitors for the Chalet School and expanded it into this book, initially for her family. Helen is a musician by profession and a lifelong Brent-Dyer enthusiast.
