She was a schoolmistress with a difference. Proud, cultured, romantic, her ideas were progressive, even shocking. And when she decided to transform a group of young girls under her tutelage into the quot;creme de la cremequot; of Marcia Blaine school, no one could have predicted the outcome.

Review
"A perfect book." -- Chicago Tribune
Novel by Muriel Spark, published in 1961 and adapted for the stage in 1966. The story of an eccentric Edinburgh teacher who inspires cultlike reverence in her young students, the novel was Spark's best-known work. The novel explores themes of innocence, betrayal, and cold rationality opposed to unchecked emotionalism. The story of Miss Brodie's ultimate downfall is told from the unsympathetic perspective of one of her students.-- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
