Nancy Breary versus Joanna Lloyd

For any serious collector of girls school stories the pre-eminence of Nancy Breary as the funniest writer of said school stories is beyond question. Unless you prefer Joanna Lloyd who is admittedly very funny and probably should not be read in the reading room of any major, scholarly library, like for example, the British Museum.

However Nancy Breary is funnier. Joanna Lloyd wrote six school stories and that Turner House thing is by all accounts (because I haven't got it and haven't read it) NOT funny. So really there are only five in her claim to be funny series. Nancy Breary wrote a lot more school stories and while not all of them are funny most of them are. Certainly she would have at least twenty genuinely funny school stories which the most basic of maths will tell you makes her FOUR TIMES funnier than Joanna Lloyd.

Thank you for your attention. This discussion has now concluded.
