Whitelands School stories as Reginald Browne


Westchester School stories as Edward Thornton


As well as novels for Collins, Brooks also established a relationship with the publishers Gerald G. Swan, and created a new gallery of characters.  He invented two new schools, Whitelands (written as Reginald Browne) and Westchester (written as Edward Thornton), and several stories appeared in the early 1940’s, all rewritten from St. Frank's stories.
