Barbara, called the Babe, leaves a London schoolroom for a girls’ boarding school, where she is the youngest pupil of all. She dreams of a witch in a steeple-hat, suffers the ink bogies, borrows the head girl’s boots, throws an impromptu supper party and is drawn into a feud that the older girls take very seriously.
