One of the stories I like least is 'Mr. Pink-Whistle Laughs' as the ending is weak, with a bully being scared to climb down a tree because there's a dog at the bottom. It's only a toy dog left there accidentally by another child, but he believes it to be real. I wasn't convinced by that even as a youngster! For further information about Mr. Pink-Whistle there are some excellent articles in the Enid Blyton Society Journal that were available to the privileged fans who were subscribing when they appeared. The Spring 2006, and Spring/Summer 2009 editions might still be available if one cares to mount a search. Have you got a favourite Mr Pink-Whistle illustrator, in regard to both cover and internal illustrations? Who? Why do you like his/her work so much? I must admit that I've not got a wide range of experience when it comes to Mr Pink-Whistle illustrators. I do enjoy the Rene Cloke illustrations in my editions very much indeed, so my default they are my favourites. Browsing through the covers in the Cave of Books, it doesn't surprise me then that the set of covers I like most were also illustrated by Cloke, those created for the 1969/1970/1971 of the Dean editions of the books. I really do not like at all the more recent covers for the books. They look garish and badly drawn.

Rene Mable Neighbor Cloke (4 October 1904 – 1 October 1995) [1] was a British illustrator and watercolorist best known for her prolific output of artwork for children's books and greeting cards. [1] Her work often displayed a whimsical quality, with frequent subjects being flora and fauna, pixies, fairies, sprites, and elves. [1] Life and career [ edit ]

Would you like to see Mr Pink-Whistle make a jump to other media - television, film, animated shorts, comic strips, toys and so on? If so, what would you like to see? I must admit, I would love to see a series of animated shorts based on the stories or maybe an animated television series that includes two stories per episode. That would be fun to watch if it was done well. The "Pink-Whistles" are a trio, plus a larger format album called "Mr. Pink-Whistle's Big Book." "The Mean Little Boy" (Chapter #10) is also in "Mr. Pink-Whistle Interferes," but with a few different pictures. Little Otter is Missing from Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, adapted by Jane Carruth. London, Award, 1995.

At that age I had no idea who Enid Blyton was. Indeed, I had little notion of the concept of an "author" - books simply were. Yet as I read the stories I had a feeling of someone "narrating" them in my head and I somehow imagined the "narrator" looking as Mr. Pink-Whistle did on the cover, plump and cheery with rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes. That's how I continued to picture Enid Blyton in my mind's eye for a while, even after someone had told me a little about her, including the fact that she was female! Thus, one cannot help wondering which of our on-line posts will somehow survive into the future, and what the verdict(s) will be?This book is a book written for babies, and me reading it as a grown-ass adult is going to result in some amount of eye-rolling, which is not really its fault because it's written for very young children.

Do you like some stories more than others? Which is your favourite and/or least favourite Mr Pink Whistle story? I really am a fan of the Mr Pink-Whistle stories. The Adventures of Mr Pink-Whistle was one of the first books I read and some of the stories in that anthology are incredibly memorable and I remember them to this day. I also love the fact that its an interaction between the fairy world and our human world and I enjoy the humour that sometimes creates in the stories too. Favourite Stories from Hans Andersen, with an introduction by Roger Lancelyn Green. Leicester, Edmund Ward, 1947.

Anyway, here goes. Copy and paste the questions, filling in your own answers. Any other discussion that arises is, of course, welcome! I'll answer the questions a bit later once I've had some more time to finish revisiting the other books.
