One of Miss Brodie’s girls, Sandy realises that 'you can only betray where loyalty is due'.

Concluded by Gerda Stevenson.

Set in the 1930s, Muriel Spark's novel tells the justly enduring story of Jean Brodie - a teacher at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls in Edinburgh.

Eschewing the normal curriculum, Miss Brodie seeks to mould her 'set' of girls 'of an impressionable age', into the 'crème de la crème'. But her convictions spark complications as some begin to question her authority and purpose.

Abridged by Sally Marmion.
