The three classic school stories. Accept no substitute. More than forty years ago Viola Swamp slinked into Room 207 at Horace B. Smedley School and whipped Miss Nelson's terrible, rude, worst-class-in-the-whole-school students into shape. In the intervening generations since the publication of Miss Nelson Is Missing , millions of children have been fascinated by the legend of Miss Swamp. A diabolical creation from the minds of Harry G. Allard and James Marshall, Miss Nelson's alter ego illuminates the folly of misbehavior through amazing feats of disguise. And she's never been more hilarious than now For the first time ever, Miss Nelson Is Missing , Miss Nelson Is Back, and Miss Nelson Has a Field Day are available in one volume. This comical, collectable treasury of stories is a must-have for teachers and their mischievous students everywhere.

ハリー・アラードとジェームズ・マーシャルが描くのは、教育という名の巧妙な心理戦。真髄は、聖母のようなネルソン先生と冷酷なスワンプ先生が表裏一体をなす「開かれた秘密」にあります。規律を学ぶ過程を、スリリングな変装劇という極上の喜劇へ昇華させた手腕は鮮やかです。 行間に漂うのは、大人の知性と子供の心理を掌握する鋭い洞察。マーシャルの雄弁な描線は、人間の多面性や「化かし合い」の悦びを鮮烈に描きます。読者はその巧妙な罠に嵌まり、教室という日常が劇的な舞台であることを発見し、必ずこの伝説の虜になるはずです。
