Positioned at the heart of Nassau County, Garden City sits like a crown jewel among the communities on Long Island. And it has a history to match. The brainchild of textile mogul Alexander Turney Stewart, who bought the last of the treeless Hempstead Plains to build his village, Garden City would emerge as the Eden of Long Island, a community for people with refined tastes but who believed in living a virtuous life. Thanks to his devoted wife, Cornelia Clinch Stewart, Stewart's legacy was furthered with the creation of the iconic Cathedral of the Incarnation and the Cathedral Schools of St. Paul and St. Mary. The Garden City Company later ensured that Garden City would remain an ideal place to live and to raise a family. But there is more. Its genteel reputation aside, Garden City showed the entire country that it could also meet a higher purpose, playing a vital role in Long Island's Golden Age of Aviation and during World War I with the formation of Camp Mills. With so much history to draw from, Garden City is a community nonpareil, a proud product of an extraordinary heritage.

This richly illustrated volume tells the story of the school from its foundation by Miriam Badock in 1858, right up to the present day. It traces the transformation of Badminton under the Headship of Beatrice Baker (1912-46), who had somewhat radical political views and is undoubtedly the individual most responsible for shaping the ethos of the school.The novelist Iris Murdoch, a former pupil, recalled: ''I went to this eccentric and, I think, very good school. It was rather left-wing ... with enlightened liberal views and an internationally-minded idealistic ethos. We were to serve the world and help our society, and also to seek academic excellence. We were interested in politics and world affairs, world peace and the League of Nations ... ''Laced with a mix of serious, amusing and moving anecdotes, Badminton School: The First 150 Years captures the many changing phases of a very individual school for girls, which still today remains true to the cosmopolitan, internationalist outlook forged in the past, while developing in recent years an outstanding academic record and a reputation for allowing girls to develop their true potential across a wide range of activities.Edited by Nigel Watson
