"The Jolliest School of All" by Angela Brazil is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Irene Beverley, a spirited girl of fourteen, who embarks on an exciting adventure as her family relocates from London to Naples, Italy. As she begins her new life at the Villa Camellia, a boarding school for English-speaking girls, readers can expect themes of friendship, school life, and the challenges of adapting to a new environment. At the start of the novel, Irene is introduced as a lively character who is dreading her return to school after the holidays, only to discover that her family is moving to Italy. Her initial angst about going back to St. Osmund's College quickly transforms into excitement upon learning that she will be attending a different school in Naples. The opening of the book details her chaotic preparations for the move, interactions with her brother Vincent, and the heartfelt emotions of her mother. As they journey through various cities, including Paris, the story captures Irene's sense of adventure and anticipation as she prepares to navigate her new life filled with unfamiliar experiences and opportunities at the Villa Camellia.
