First published in 1941, and written when the author was a teenager herself, this book follows the success of seven talented and resourceful children who renovate a disused chapel and form The Blue Door Theatre Company. The Swish of the Curtain has enjoyed enduring popularity over the years with readers of all ages, and it remains a timeless inspiration to any young reader with a passion for the performing arts. Longwater Books are delighted to be able to reissue this previously hard-to-find classic in its entirety in a new paperback edition.
