I’m back, having mostly recovered from my first lurgy of the year. Another one so kindly brought home from school and shared around. How I longed for someone to suggest I needed some fresh country air and a week (or two) of rest somewhere peaceful and idyllic, and to make it a reality. But no such luck!

Enid Blyton references in other fiction, part 3
and
January round up
This has been rumoured for a long time and may still never come about, but the proposed film adaptation of the Magic Faraway Tree has made progress! There’s a script, a director, casting is apparently underway, so we will see.


Can anyone help me as to where I can find Enid Blyton story? When I was small and my sister Heather was just a toddler mum was reading a story about a pixie who had a magic feather that I think he lost but whatever it was it led to him saying “Where’s my Tippity Feather?” I was sat next to mum listening and my sister was on the floor doing something but every time mum read those words she would say “I’m here.” It led to Heather having a nickname for a while. I’ve looked all over at synopses of stories to try and find it but to no avail so I’m hoping someone can help. Btw I’d be the first in the queue to see an Enchanted Wood movie.

I think it may be “The Tippity Bird’s Feather.” It had Nobbly the gnome who has a lucky feather from the Tippity bird. He loses it and his friends all try to remember who last used it. If you give me your email address I can send you photos of the story.
Otherwise it can be found in these books:

What is lurgy? Allergy?

Unidentified viral illness. Enough to keep you off work but isn’t serious.
