Hockey sticks, it seems, have never been so jolly. School-girl stories from the early part of the 20th century are still selling to young girls of the 21st century.
Even the school-days caper The Happiest Days of Your Life currently playing at Manchester's Royal Exchange is drawing enthusiastic audiences of all ages.
Mary Cadogan, author of Chin up, Chest out Jemima: A celebration of the School Story and Joanna Riding, Olivier-award winning actress, playing Miss Gossage in the play join Jenni to discuss their enduring appeal.
'The Happiest Days of Your Life' is at the Manchester Royal Exchange until 17 January
