OUR

LETTER PAGE

 A letter from Alan Lewis, Belfast, N.I.
Dear Enid Blyton,
About a week after I received my lovely F.F. badge I decided to do something for your Children’s Home. So with my brother’s help I held a display of toy cars (we own about a hundred). The most interesting event was “Formation Driving” in which the cars formed EIIR, and F.F.C. (for Famous Five Club). Altogether we made 5/-. Please buy something for the Home children.
Love from
Alan Lewis

(A most original idea, Alan, and a generous one. I congratulate you.)

A letter from Ann and John McMullin, Caversham.
Dear Enid Blyton,
Tonight we had a sudden thunderstorm and the rain poured down. Soon after, the sun came out while it was still raining. My brother and I knew there ought to be a rainbow. We went to look and there was a very bright one. I expect you remember a story of a rainbow in your magazine, which told us how to pick out the colours in the right order. Well, we remembered.
Yours sincerely,
Ann and John McMullin.

(I am glad you remembered how to pick out the colours.)

A letter from Miranda Walker, Poundsbridge.
Dear Enid Blyton,
When my small sister was 22 months old she had measles, and the only thing that cheered her up was to have her Noddy book read to her, she loved Noddy so much. Soon after that when she was well again, she used to look at the coloured letters of the title and by that she learned her alphabet.
Much love from
Miranda Walker.

(It’s the first time I have heard of such a small child learning her alphabet in this way, Miranda!)

Still three letters this week, though the top quarter of the page was taken up with the last paragraphs of a Brer Rabbit story. Previous weeks letters pages have had a small illustration to take up the extra space.

Two letters with boys’ names on them this week which is nice to see. I love Alan’s toy car show – that’s definitely something we could do as we have at least 100 toy cars, maybe more!
