After a spotty January in terms of posting, I don’t think there will be anything this week either as Stef will be up visiting me. I have read all the suggestions for future content though, and have taken them on board. Of course I know that I can’t please all the people all the time, but I can at least try to write things that people want to read!

Henry, or Henrietta as George would say, is someone we don’t get to know very well unfortunately. We know that’s she’s tall and wiry and is able to trick Julian and Dick into thinking that she’s a boy. She’s also very boastful, to the point that few people believe half of what she says. Of course George hates her on sight – she likes to think she’s the only girl who can pull of dressing as a boy. It’s not clear if Henry feels the same, but she certainly rises and responds to George’s teasing and name-calling with equal fervour.

Henry’s coming to the rescue at the end of Five Go to Mystery Moor means that, like with Jo, George has to grudgingly admit she’s not all bad. But unlike Jo, Henry doesn’t get to appear again to continue a friendship with George.
