I love this - and I love the Princess one too - but I wrote the Facebook pages for Joey for the next NCC Journal without being aware of either of these! I was inspired by a Facebook entry for Miss Buncle on the DE Stevenson list.

Honest Injun!

I started with 'School At' (which seems to have been buried), and explained on that thread that I did that after seeing a version of Hamlet elsewhere... So no claim to orginality on my part either :D
