A World of Girls

“MediaBook” Studio presents one of the best audiobooks by popular British writer Elizabeth Mead-Smith—“The School Queen.” The book is read by popular film actress and well-known dubbing actress Yulia Tarkhova. The question presented not the slightest difficulty. Kitty O’Donovan was unanimously elected May Queen. Mrs. Sherwood had a custom of transporting thirty girls raised in her home from Merbury Square to Merton-Gables every year in mid-April. Only when snowdrops began to bloom and all nature, full of joy, came alive, she would move to Merton-Gables with her cheerful pupils and teachers. There they spent the summer, and there the old tradition of electing the May Queen was carried out with all the ceremonies of bygone times. Every girl at school dreamed of becoming the May Queen. The memory of this celebration stayed with them for life. There was no room for envy, because the Queen was chosen not by the headmistress or teachers, but only by the students—her friends. She wasn’t awarded the honor for her looks—she earned the coveted choice simply because her friends loved her. On Yulia Tarkhova’s résumé: roles in Russian and Soviet cult films “Tomorrow Was the War (1987),” “The Quiet Outpost (1985),” “Zina-Zinulia (1986),” “The Revolution Called Upon,” “Red Cherry (1995),” and dubbing in dozens of films, including such bestsellers as “The Spy Bridge (2015),” “No. 44 (2014),” and many others.
