From the dust jacket: "The voices in this story belong to successive generations of teacher, student and headmistress, all of whom played their part in the Elmwood story. Founded in 1915 by an adventurous Englishwoman (Theodora Philpot), Elmwood began life humbly, with four students in a derelict farmhouse. Voices tells how the school began, what life was like in the years past, how the buildinbg evolved and how the curriculum developed over time".
