School House in the Wind

By: Anne Treneer

Long out of print and now published together for the first time the three volumes of the autobiography of Anne Treneer, Cornish author and schoolteacher, cover the period from her birth in 1891 to her retirement from teaching in 1948. Treneer wrote in a wide range of literary forms -- poetry, essays, biography -- but it is for this trilogy that she is best known. The first volume, School House in the Wind, covers the period of Treneer's early childhood in Cornwall until her teacher training in St. Austell in 1906. Cornish Years covers the middle of her career, and A Stranger in the Midlands encompasses the years between 1931 and 1947, when Treneer taught at King Edwards High School for Girls in Bermingham. School House in the Wind includes a short biography of Anne Trenner, as well as a substantial introduction and a descriptive bibliography of Trenner's writings. From lovers of the English countryside to those interested in education, poetry, and women's history, this fascinating trilogy will hold great appeal.
