He played duets with Elizabeth at the school concert Susan - Joan's friend and the girl who took Elizabeth's place as a monitor when she was stripped off the position in the middle of a term The Naughtiest Girl is a series of novels written by Enid Blyton in the 1940s–1950s. Unusually, they are set at a progressive boarding school rather than a traditional one. The school, Whyteleafe, bears a striking resemblance to the independent Suffolk boarding school, Summerhill. [1] Anne Digby, author of the Trebizon series, has written some additional books in the series.

I think my fascination for Elizabeth is mostly because the books didn’t try to moralise her naughtiness. Blyton uses Elizabeth to explore the idea that you could be naughty and kind, hot-headed and brave, troublesome and clever. It didn’t need to be an either-or situation – you could be both, and still be appreciated. Elizabeth begins to enjoy life at Whyteleafe, despite her best efforts to hate everything. She even makes friends with "the Mouse", Joan Townsend — though Joan feels that having the Bold Bad Girl as a friend is "rather like being friends with a thunderstorm! You never quite knew what Elizabeth was going to do next." These issues simply don’t turn up in Whyteleafe. The children respect their monitors and make it a point to go to them for help and advice. In The Naughtiest Girl Is A Monitor, Rosemary, a student, goes to Elizabeth, the monitor, when she loses her money, while another student, Kathleen, makes it a point to inform Arabella, a new student, that she has to respect the monitors since they were chosen because the others liked and admired them. This level of accountability also makes the students more independent, responsible, kind, and better at solving problems.

Enid Blyton's Froebel-based teacher-training course no doubt inspired her and it's possible that Summerhill in Suffolk was another influence. Not only is Whyteleafe co-educational, but discipline and decision-making are in the hands of the pupils. Head Boy William and Head Girl Rita act as Judges at weekly meetings together with a Jury of twelve elected monitors, dishing out advice, praise or penalties as they see fit. Headmistresses Miss Belle and Miss Best ("the Beauty and the Beast") explain that "We never punish anyone, Elizabeth... we leave any naughty person to the rest of the children to deal with." In addition, pupils are expected to pool all their money and are given a considerable degree of responsibility, taking charge (up to a point) of the school gardens and stables, and being allowed to keep pets.
