Our Girls Brightest
Published by Renwick Of Otley: London c1940 (undated)
"
This charming mid-century girls' annual captures the wholesome spirit of British school and adventure stories from the 1930s-40s. Published by Renwick of Otley, Our Girls' Brightest features a series of engaging tales filled with friendship, mystery, and moral courage, set against evocative illustrations in both full colour and monochrome. Its stories often centre on boarding-school camaraderie, holiday escapades, and challenges overcome with optimism and teamwork, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the values and aspirations of wartime-era youth.
The striking cover and internal plates — including the vividly coloured "A Half-Term Hazard" frontispiece — embody the popular art style of pre-war girls' publications, making this volume both a collectible piece of literary history and a fine decorative example of period printing. A delightful addition for collectors of vintage girls' annuals, lovers of 1940s British illustration, and enthusiasts of classic children's literature."
