Angela Brazil, (pronounced "brazzle"), (November 30, 1868 - March 13, 1947), was the first of the British writers of "modern" "School Girls' Stories" genre - written from the characters' point of view. The equivalent in respect of "boys' stories" was Charles Hamilton (1876-1961), (pen name Frank Richards). This twentieth century genre aimed to write entertaining rather than merely instructional stories. Wikipedia
